[R] Organized examples for newbyes

[Prof Brian Ripley]

Look at the collection of books in the FAQ, Q2.7.  For you, I would add

Laboratorio di statistica con R 
by S. M. Iacus and G. Masarotto, McGraw-Hill, ISBN 88-386-6084-0

which my Italian student found very helpful.

I don't think examples without explanations would be anything like 
as helpful.
