bootstrap: boot package

What, `I want to use the boot command to replicate this'? I don't think either of you cover it or `the boot.ci function to produce confidence intervals'. In my experience it is well worth using the code writen by experts, for bootstrapping as well as in general. It is `surprisingly easy' to re-invent the wheel in R.
I like that last comment a lot and would like to add my tuppence. It is surprisingly easy to re-invent the wheel in R because it is surprisingly easy to overlook the existence of functions and, in my case, entire libraries of functions that are already there, debugged, and working well. I am not sure how to overcome this problem (I understand that it is not a problem for you, Prof.) with R. Perhaps there is a documentation solution.
