S has a function for this :
     seed <- sample(75)

     ## (and "seed" is not very sensical name here)

    >> train<-ruspini[seed[1:60],]
    >> test<-ruspini[seed[61:75],]
    >> pamx<-pam(train,4)
    >> knnx<-knn(pamx$medoids,test,factor(c("a","b","c","d")),k=1)

Note on style:

  Using " " (space) in S statements is very much recommended for
  readability, particularly
  space around "<-", i.e. " <- " 
	 (and this is provided with one key stroke by ESS and R-WinEdt)
