Hi everyone
I am a new useR running R on a Windows platform with Emacs.  I have been searching package manuals and email archives trying to solve this problem but have been unable to find a solution.  Your help with this is appreciated.
 
I have generated random points within a polygon shapefile (with 1 polygon) using dotsInPolys.  I now want to sample a field (attribute data) of another polygon shapefile (with >>> 1 polygon) to add data to the points dataframe based on the point's spatial location (known by ArcView user's as a spatial join).  Is there a command in one of the spatial packages that would allow me to do this (I have found join.asc; however, I am looking for a command that will allow me to join vector data).  As I am new to posting, suggestions for clarifying my question or additional details I should provide would be appreciated.  Thank you for your time.
 
Sincerely,
