search for: toehold

Hi, I'm a SAS veteran and R newbie. Can anyone point me to where I can best find examples on reading in shapefiles with R, and then merging in measurement info for the different polygons? I'm struggling a bit finding a good toehold in the documentation, as I am not yet familiar with navigating it yet. Thanks, Matt [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

I have been a member of the mailing list for a couple months now. I have not contributed anything because it has been difficult to gain a toehold from which I could really understand the concepts used in Ogg Vorbis. I would like to help out, but it is hard to get an idea of the overall architecture with docs like http://www.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/doc/vorbis.html , in which every link is dead. I'm not trying to point fingers or to say that...
