Yes.

Please follow the posting guide[1] and good netiquette[2]; kindly search 
before posting and demonstrate that you've put in some effort.

Searching rseek.org for 'transaction profit and loss' in the 'support 
lists' tab should amply answer your question.

Also, Pat Burns previously posted a blog entry on searching for 
information in R[2] and Paul Teetor covers it well in the R Cookbook [3]
