[R] A possible way to reduce basic questions

[Anne]

What about starting a database? I know it is a lot of work but one of the
difficulties one encounter with R is taht i can be diffcult to know where to
look for answers...I do agree that a basic list will tend to be a write only
list! (and I take the opportunity here tp thank all of you for your patient
answers !)
