Dear Patrick, It's hard to know how to help since you provide very little specific information. For example, what OS are you using -- Windows, Mac OS, Linux?
Packages such as sem have to be installed before they are usable, and even then ?sem won't provide you with information before the package is loaded via library(sem). You might start by reading the Introduction to R manual that comes with R. Among other things, it explains how to install packages. Under Windows, for example, the easiest way to proceed if you have an active Internet connection is via the "Packages -> Install package(s)" menu in the R console. I hope this helps, John On Wed, 28 Jun 2006 15:53:55 -0400 Patrick Bedard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi there, > > I just saw your question on the help list and tough you could help me > with > some start-up info.... > > I just downloaded the R project software to try running SEM analysis > and I > also downloaded the SEM package.
