R help - Jun 2005 - Listing knowledge of R as a skill on a resume...

Afternoon folks:

This question may be a touch off-topic, but I had to start
somewhere.

As I become more proficient with R I would like to play up
the point in the computer skills section of my resume. Can
anybody on the list provide an idea or two as to what might
be an appropriate way to do this? Is it a language or an
application? What's a proper description for it?

I leave to everyone's judgement as to where to respond, but
I suspect off-list would be proper and leave the list
bandwidth for more directly R topics.

Thanks in advance for any help possible.

Regards...

	  On "http://www.r-project.org/", I find, "R is a free software 
environment for statistical computing and
graphics."

Okay, Spencer's response points up my mistake in my
explanation. Let me put the question another way.

Here's the computer skills sections of my cv:

Office Suites: Microsoft Office, Lotus SmartSuite,
OpenOffice
 Applications: SAP, Microsoft Project, AutoCAD, DesignCAD
 The Internet: Internet Explorer, Outlook Express, Mozilla,
Firefox, Thunderbird
    Languages: XHTML, Cascading Style Sheets, Perl, C++,
COBOL, Fortran

What concise entry would I add to this section
demonstrating knowledge of the R environment and language?
