R devel - Jan 2008 - Evaluating R expressions

All,
  Thank you for the prompt and useful answers to my questions.
  
  I had missed references in 5.7.6 which would have answered some of the points.
As Bill pointed out a newer version of acrobat would help, but the Sun system 
here is still running 5.0.  (An oversubscribed sysadmin).  Then I could have 
searched and at at least avoided the most trivial.
  All three comments were different, and all three helped.

"I see" said the blind carpenter, as he picked up his hammer and saw. 
(A
favorite phrase of my mother's when something became clear).

Rather off topic, while acrobat reader is Adobe and authoritative,
there are a lot of other 3rd-party pdf viewers around. xpdf
(http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/download.html) provides text search
functionally and mostly just a single binary so it shouldn't require
sysadmin installation or assistance to use. Should make your life a bit 
easier when you are searching for something in big thick manuals.
