[R] Novice User Manual

[wildscop]

Dear R users,

         I'm a new user of R : in fact , i hadn't used R yet. To say the 
truth , I'm used to with graphical interface of windows environment. so R 
console reminds me Linux , of which i am afraid of much more. Whatever , i 
like to learn about the 7 topics below of "R" or "S+4.5" [is there any 
other similar program like these ?]. Thats why i need some documentation 
[preferably at PDF file formate]. Can you please provide me web link 
addresses where can i find documentation about the topics below :
         1. running R or S-plus in windows environment
         2. Vectors and Matrices
         3. Reading and Sorting data and listing data
         4. Plotting and graphics
         5. Functions
         6. Programming for Statistical computation
         7. Estimation of the parameters of different models using 
Newton-Raphson method
         it would be a great help if i can get effective and nicely written 
tutorials to learn it quickly. I also need to know if i need any packages 
to learn about the topics above which is not included at R-1.3.0 or S+4.5 
by default. I look forward to you for your valuable suggestions about "R" 
or "S+" about any thing that you want to suggest.

NB: where should i mail  : R-help at stat.math.ethz.ch or 
at  r-help at lists.R-project.org to reach R-help ? since i'm not sure about 
it : i mail at both addresses. Forgive me if it is cross-posted.


Best regards,
