Hi lejeczek,
I had an idea and typed:

demo(base)
demo(R)

and there is no demo for "base" or "R". It is possible to create a file 
named R.R and stick it in the library/base/demo directory under the R 
home directory (on my PC it is /usr/local/lib64/R) with R source code in 
it. If you then enter:

demo(R)

in R you will run the file. You can put any valid R code into it.
