Probably Jan,Fev,Mar,Avr and so on...

On my R 2.9.2 installation, ?Constants just says No documentation I don't know why Gabor and I would have different results. However, ?LETTERS does provide the requested information. -Don At 7:30 AM -0400 9/11/09, Gabor Grothendieck wrote: See ?Constants On Fri, Sep 11, 2009 at 3:13 AM, megh megh700...@yahoo.com wrote: There is an object LETTERS which displays all letters from a to z.

On my R 2.9.2 installation, ?Constants just says No documentation I don't know why Gabor and I would have different results. However, ?LETTERS does provide the requested information. In the upper left corner of the help for LETTERS is Constants(base) and usually that means that ?Constants would give you the same help file. All Rd files have one name entry and one or more alias entries. help() or ? looks in the list of alias entries, not the name, but most help files include the name in the aliases. src/library/base/man/Constants.Rd does not and probably should do that also. -Don At 7:30 AM -0400 9/11/09, Gabor Grothendieck wrote: See ?Constants On Fri, Sep 11, 2009 at 3:13 AM, megh megh700...@yahoo.com wrote: There is an object LETTERS which displays all letters from a to z.
