Two points: most of the information you may find useful is documenmted on 
the R project website, and secondly, because R is open source, doubts 
about documented functionality can be resolved by reading the entire code, 
which is entirely at your disposal. I'm sure lots of people would be 
interested in your generous contribution of your conclusions back to the 
community. Specifically, use of the search facility on the website will 
give you an initial guide to where to look - treat this as an exercise in 
datamining on R.
