Please use a sensible subject line. In short, you need help().
Most R functions have a section called "Examples" in the help file. E.g.
help("plot") or even help("help"). Granted this will give you only
snippets of a whole analysis but it is helpful nonetheless.
Since you have already identified the datasets you have, see the help
section of help("AirPassengers") for a more complete analysis.
Perhaps articles and books listed under "Contributed" and "Publications"
under Documentations tab of www.R-project.org might help.
Regards, Adai
