[R] Understanding R's "Environment" concept

[Bert Gunter]

This **is** an inherently technical topic. Did you try the R Language
Manual section on environments (wasn't clear from your message)?

You might try posting on R-devel. Folks there may know of
tutorials/books that might be useful to you.

"Men by nature long to get on to the ultimate truths, and will often
be impatient with elementary studies or fight shy of them. If it were
possible to reach the ultimate truths without the elementary studies
usually prefixed to them, these would not be preparatory studies but
superfluous diversions."

-- Maimonides (1135-1204)
