Thanks for your advices...but, but, but...the whole day i was trying to
understand the source code of the rpart function...
i mean, if it's what obtained by typing
>rpart in R-prompt...
sorry, if I pose stupid questions, but R is really new to me...
I don't even know what's

.a book...? I don't think that, here in France I could get it...:(...
So, my stupid question is, how do I get the source code of R functions...?
Well, thanks a lot again,
