A number of the help pages have been revised, so far only on the r-devel version, although the great majority of the revisions apply to 2.7.0 as well. Much of the existing documentation is out of date, some of it badly. Also, a goal of the revision is that readers could start with package?methods and navigate down through some general pages to details. (Not by any means as an introduction to the topic, but for clarifications and for details.) I hope eventually to revise most of the pages, but only a dozen or so have been done at this point (including, however, many of the key topics). Another reason for delay was that the new pages reference the "Software for Data Analysis" book, which was supposed to be out by now, but is not "quite" (questions on that topic have to go to the publisher). However, it seems useful to distribute these revisions now, as the topics come up, for example, in this mailing list fairly often. John
