Have you tried "?help.search" in R?

Also, have you tried www.r-project.org -> search -> "R site search"?

Finally, have you tried "the posting guide! 
http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html"?

hope this helps. spencer graves

Perhaps if you provided some insight into what exactly it is you are
looking to do, we can provide some specific guidance.

The R Manuals are typically available in your installation, accessible
via help.start().

However they are also online at the main R site:

http://www.r-project.org/

Along the left hand side of the page under "Documentation", there are
several links to available manuals, user contributed docs, FAQ's, etc.

HTH,

There has been much discussion on this topic on this mailing list
recently, and an important result is that there is no complete user guide.
Like any computer language, R is extensible, and there is no complete
listing.  If you know what you are looking for, for example 'urgent
question', try this in R:

 help.search.archive<-function(string){
   RURL="http://www.google.com/u/newcastlemaths"
   RSearchURL=paste(RURL,"?q=",string,sep='')
   browseURL(RSearchURL)
   return(invisible(0))
 }
 # and

help.search.archive("urgent question") # to find urgent questions

Go to
http://cran.r-project.org/

and find the contributed documentation section.
