Dear Jill, Assuming you have installed R correctly, several manuals in PDF will have been installed. Perhaps the most useful for you is "An Introduction to R" which answers all of your questions (and more). If you've installed the Windows version, you can view this by following the menus Help->Manuals->An Introduction to R. Please work through this tutorial there before you go much further.

So why don't you ask your teacher, again (I guess you are looking for source(), but you are too unspecific)? Or in order not to frustrate your teacher as you already have frustrated the mailing list: Why not reading at least a couple of pages of the manuals, beginning with "An Introduction to R" (please, do read it!)?

I suggest you start with John Maindonald's 'course' That should be a couple of evening's reading and put you well on your way. You may get a blasting for your rather uninformative subject line ... and a little lurking or a visit to the archives would have got you moving. This is actually a very friendly and supportive list, but the most valuable sources of information are very busy and sometimes somewhat brusque. This is information your lecturer/class coordinator should have provided you with ...

Hi!> I have no clue what i am doing/ meant to do with R. i have just begun > statistics for uni and all commands don't seem to work, they say > syntax error, we are meant to put a hist.r in but ?I guess you should have a look at the manuals. You can find them at the R-Project web site: http://www.r-project.org In addition to the official manuals I found the "Simple R" manual very helpful. It's under contributed documentation. cu Philipp -- Dr. Philipp Pagel Tel. +49-89-3187-3675 Institute for Bioinformatics / MIPS Fax. +49-89-3187-3585 GSF - National Research Center for Environment and Health Ingolstaedter Landstrasse 1 85764 Neuherberg, Germany
If you are the impatient type, you might want to have a look at "A Guide for the Unwilling S User". It is in the contributed documentation on the R website and on my company website.
