"kmeans" is not a package - at least not on CRAN. I guess you are
talking about a kmeans function in anotehr package.
I think you should read two kinds of books: 1. books about the
methodology and 2. book about using R. If you understood both, it is not
too hard to put the two things together.
There is a web page for R related book at http://www.r-project.org/

Many of us will certainly think that neither MS Access VBA nor the R
Commander (the latter is really nice for teaching certain kinds of
non-statistics students) will be used by an experienced data miner.
