[R] Example scripts for R Manual

[Prof Brian Ripley]

Which manuals exactly?

Runnable scripts for R-intro and R-exts are in the doc/manuals 
directory of the R sources, alongside those manuals.  If you got a 
binary version of R, see https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/doc/manual/

They are part of the test suite: no one else has suggested that it is 
helpful to have them installed or publicized.

Most of the examples in R-data need additional faciltiies (e.g. a 
DBMS).
