[R] boot and coefficients

[John Fox]

Dear Andrew,

My R and S-PLUS Companion has an on-line appendix on bootstrapping 
regression models that might be of help. You can find it (and other 
appendices) at 
<http://www.socsci.mcmaster.ca/jfox/Books/Companion/appendix.html>.

I hope that this answers your questions.
  John
