No. > Have I missed a key reference to programming R? Yes. How about reading the text that R displays when it starts (and follow its suggestions)? Or visiting the canonical web site for R (http://www.r-project.org/)? Or consulting question 2.7 in the R FAQ ("2.7 What documentation exists for R?") Or reading the posting guide for the list (http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html)? All four methods would (presumably) quickly have led you to manuals such as "the R Language Definition", "Writing R Extensions" and "R Data Import/Export", and given references to books on programming S and/or R. -- Bjørn-Helge Mevik ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
