Hi: I am looking for "style guides" for larger R programs, and would like suggestions of web pages or documents to look at. I am particularly interested in guidelines for how to structure programs, and such issues as managing scope, passing data around, data hiding, and so forth. I do have some understanding of how scope works, and how object-oriented programming does or might work. But I am not looking for more explanations of the detail mechanisms. What I want is documented advice on how to use these mechanisms for laying out larger programs, with rationale, and preferably with examples. Suggestions, please? Thanks Robert Biddle

Hi Robert, the following book review may help you. Don't be confused by the last word in the book title. http://www.jstatsoft.org/v29/b08 Thomas P.
