Hi, there:
I have a variable whose distribution is far from
normal and its qqnorm is S-shape, like a logisitic
plot. My purpose is to discretize it into 2 or 3
classes. (basically, a transformation from quantative
to discrete). I am wondering if there is a good way to
do that.

If this question is meant technical: ?cut
If you want to know how to choose the breaks, I'd suggest to think about the problem that you are going to analyze and to look at the data.
