In S-Plus, I can look at the structure of a function (for example, hist) simply by entering
hist <RETURN>

function (x, ...)
UseMethod("hist")

How can I inspect the structure of a function in R?
I think you mean `read the code', as S-PLUS has inspect() that does something different, and you don't want the internal structure, do you?
You have! hist() in R is generic, and it is not in S-PLUS.
