Not sure if primitives is the right word, but look at this: > help(for) Error: syntax error > ?for + [hit ctrl-c to get out at this pt] Either way I try I can't get help on for. Can the help mechanism be modified so it is possible to get help on these guys? Another example: > help(if) Error: syntax error But ?(ifelse) works. I am using version .62, release from April or so.

Last night I sent the bug report below to r-help. I have since then looked at dhyper.c and found: if (NR < 0 || NB < 0 || n <= 0 || n > N) DOMAIN_ERROR; I changed 'n <= 0' to 'n < 0' and then dhyper worked as I wanted. Am I introducing some potentially dangerous behaviour by this change? Goran

Hi, I guess the answer is negative but I thought I would ask just the same: is it possible to use any of the S+ toolboxes (ARCH and wavelets, more particularly) with R? Thanks, Olivier Lefevre Union Bank of Switzerland New York, NY PS: Please cc me any reply as I am not on the list (at least not yet).

When trying grep(), I get the following: > grep("[a-z]", letters) Error in grep(pattern, x, ignore.case, extended, value) : POSIX regular expressions not available I can't find any pointer in the installation kit. How can I configure R to make it "avaliable"? I run R in an Irix 5.3 system. Thanks in advance! --

Sorry if this is a redundent question but I searched the archives and although I found a couple of similar questions I saw no responses. I am running in Linux and when I try to invoke R from either XEmacs or Emacs via 'M-x R' I get an error message which basically says that Emacs doesn't understand the command. What do I need to do so that X/Emacs will invoke R when I type 'M-x

Hi, I'm determined to get R compiling & running on a machine running AIX 4.2. I've seen previous emails in the archive about this topic. The main obstacle is getting dynamic loading to work, but it works for Tcl and hence is feasable. Questions: - is anybody _currently_ working with R on AIX? - why have previous fixes to the sources not been introduced into the released

Hello R-helpers, I was wondering if anyone is porting S lib packages for design of experiments: conf.design, glim, graff(all from statlib)? I was able to change the format of S packages into R (including docs). In conf.design, by W. Venables, sort.list function is missing from R. I just put sort.list <- sort, but I got more error messages. Before doing more work, would like to know if this

Thanks to Peter Dalgaard's message, I learned a bit more about the 'par' function and rewrote my HTML help file accordingly. Is it appropriate to submit such changes somewhere to improve the documentation? I would also be willing to write some missing documentation as well.

Dear R-developers The basic function seq doesn't work properly: > seq(1,6,by=3) [1] 1 4 7 Looking at the source code of seq.default I found that strange fuzz thing "+ 0.4". Taking that away the seq works fine. My question is: Why has this fuzz thing been added? If it was for some rounding problems I would suggest to replace "0.4" by something much smaller. Peter

At present the example data sets in R libraries are to be given as expressions that can be read directly into R. For example, the acid.R file in the main library looks like acid <- data.frame( carb = c(0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.9), optden = c(0.086, 0.269, 0.446, 0.538, 0.626, 0.782), row.names = paste(1:6)) This is great when you have only a few observations. I have one example data
