[R] basic questions: any place for them

[Berton Gunter]

As you know, R is not S-Plus, though they for the most part share a common syntax
(S) and a lot of (nearly) identical functions with (nearly) identical behavior.
Nevertheless, there's lots of stuff in S-Plus that's not in R and vice-versa. So
you shouldn't expect to find all S-Plus functions in R. Almost certainly, the
functionality will be in R to write them yourself (and vice-versa).Less
certainly, there may be a function by a different name that does the same thing.
For this you should search Help files (?help.search) and the online search
facilities at CRAN first before posting to this list.

Cheers,
Bert
