R help - May 2009 - How to do Naive Bayes in R?

I am wondering if anybody here have a simple example in R for Naive 
Bayes.

For example, I can do k-means clustering on the "iris" data -

data(iris)
cl <- kmeans(iris[,1:4], 3)
cl$cluster
cbind(1:150,iris$Species)

==========
But how to do Naive Bayes classification in the same "iris" data?

Many thanks!

# start here:
help.search('bayes')

# in which you will find:
e1071::naiveBayes

# which means:
library(e1071)
?naiveBayes

# and compared to your example:
cl <- kmeans(iris[,1:4], 3)
table(cl$cluster, iris[,5])

m <- naiveBayes(iris[,1:4], iris[,5])
table(predict(m, iris[,1:4]), iris[,5])
