Marc,

Reviewing R FAQs 2.7 and 3.x on the main R site would be a good place
to start. The former lists books and other documents (some online)
that serve as excellent introductions, while the latter helps to
differentiate R and S/S+.

Spending some time with those references and the R FAQs will serve as
a good foundation, with keyword searches of the R-help list archive
serving as an additional strong resource.

HTH,

Another Marc
