From: Mark Edwards [mailto:mark at miic.org.uk] Excellent - many thanks to all. To be honest i found the manual "An introduction to R" not very user-friendly.
Then please tell us how/why you feel that way. Give some examples in that document where you have trouble. I'm quite sure R Core always welcome constructive criticisms... (apologies for putting words in their mouths). You may also want to check out the "contributed documentation" on CRAN. Some of them might be to your liking.
In the case of "An introduction to R", the case is likely that it has a target audience of professional [and] theoretical statisticians -- matrix calculus assumed and so forth. Some ot the contributed docs - and at least one book... - do target less experienced people.
