Alexandre & Patricia, As Bert Gunter periodically points out: "Newbies (and others!) may find useful the R Reference Card made available by Tom Short and Rpad at http://www.rpad.org/Rpad/Rpad-refcard.pdf or through the "Contributed" link on CRAN (where some other reference cards are also linked). It categorizes and organizes a bunch of R's basic, most used functions so that they can be easily found. For example, paste() is under the "Strings" heading and expand.grid() is under "Data Creation." For newbies struggling to find the right R function as well as veterans who can't quite remember the function name, it's very handy." I still keep a hard copy of Tom Short's referncece card handy, as do most of my colleagues at Loyalty Matrix. -- HTH, Jim Porzak Loyalty Matrix Inc. San Francisco, CA

Took a bunch of tries, but if you run start.help() and then choose Packages, then Base, you will get the list of functions. As a newcomer, I hesitate to suggest this, but maybe there should be a comment on the index page to that effect? -- Patricia J. Hawkins Hawkins Internet Applications www.hawkinsia.com
