[R] R Beginner - Need Perhaps 5 - 10 Minutes of R User Time to Learn Few Basics

[Bert Gunter]

Type the following into your console window:

install.packages("fortunes")
library(fortunes)
fortune("brain surgery")

(It's not quite apposite, but close enough).

Cheers,
Bert

I downloaded RStudio to my machine. [Perhaps RStudio is not the best platform to work from -  I have heard that Rattle is sort of the new standard.] I have so far been able to highlight the rows of the code that I wish to run, but then I somehow turned off seeing the output. I also cannot find where I would locate the output window. Yes, frustrated.

I am already very experienced with both C and VBA languages as well as SPSS syntax so there is not much need to worry about me being too much of a novice.
