Try this: > debug(seq.default) > seq(3) You'll then drop into the browser at the start of executing the seq.default function. You can print the value of "to" and of "from", and you'll see this: Browse[1]> to [1] 1 Browse[1]> from [1] 3 So the documentation is correct, even if the usage in this case is the reverse of English usage. (You'll quickly want "undebug(seq.default)" if you don't want to spend a lot of time in the debugger; seq() is a pretty commonly used function!)
