[R] Symbol size in plots

[ben@zoo.ufl.edu]

  A mild suggestion, by the way, is that "circle", "star", etc. be added
to the _keywords_ of symbols().  It took me a while to find it in the help
the last time I was looking for it.

  What are the possibilities that a _full-text_ search capability could be
added to the help front-end?  Would it be prohibitively slow?  (Or is
there adaptable software that would, e.g., index all words except a list
of stopwords into a reference database?)
