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

[Mitchell Maltenfort]

Bert:

 Yet another reason I'm a fan of Frank Harrell. Does anyone know when
I get to buy the next edition of Regression Modeling Strategies?

Zach: Check www.coursera.org. They have some nice R-centric classes.
I signed up myself since my own R skills are self-taught.  Also
consider investing in some of the excellent R texts available such as
"The R Book" or "The R Primer"

I can answer any question.  "I don't know" is an answer. "I don't know
yet" is a better answer.

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.
