As a newbye becoming more and more confident with R, I'm having a go at neural 
networks by means of your nnet package trying to model daily electricity 
demand with respect to time, weather extreme temperatures,air humidity, sky 
coverage (don't know if is correct in English, I mean: a measurement of the 
intensity of daylight going to very cloudy to completely clear), and type of 
day (working days, Mon, Sat, Sun).

Therefore, among many other things, I need to:

1) Window different spells of the year to study them separatedly;
2) Print in a human readable way the list of data of the spell  under 
observation;
3) Plot the same spells as timeseries, that is with a time referenced x-axis.

That's all.

Thanks
