There is a problem with `rpois'. It does seem to take care about the order of the arguments. This is an example: > rpois(n=1,lambda=2) [1] 3 > rpois(lambda=2,n=1) [1] 2 0 It obviously uses the first argument as the number of samples to be drawn, which is wrong. I used Version 0.49 Beta (April 23, 1997). Fredrik

I know I should probably RTFM for this question, but could someone tell me if R supports the idea of "viewing source" on any particular function you want to use? If I want to "view source" on the rpois() function, for example, can I do somethink like: source(rpois) To see how the function is implemented?
