Hi List,
Would you please send me a good link to talk me through on how to write a R
package?

There are many, many, many resources:

Take the first hit.

Hi List,

package?

See the ?package.skeleton help page.  After you have run it, follow the 
instructions in the "Read-and-delete-me" file that it will create.

For full details, see the Writing R Extensions manual.

For modifying the package after you've finished the "Read-and-delete-me" 
instructions, just manually add *.R files where the rest of them are, 
and use the prompt() function to produce skeleton documentation.

That's about it, but you can read more if you like in a tutorial I gave 
a few years ago at a UseR meeting in Dortmund:

... and there are others who gave talks or tutorials about it (inlcuding 
myself).

Nevertheless, I'd recommend to look into the manual "Writing R 
Extensions" which is updated with R and with the changes in the package 
related mechanisms --- while all our talks and tutorials won't get 
updated. Probably Duncan's is still correct, but I want to make this 
remark for the list's archives.

Best,
Uwe Ligges
