Hi, everyone, Is there a way to get the detailed variable descriptions of a built-in dataset? By using attributes(Boston) I can get the names of each variables of a builtin dataset 'Boston'(in package "MASS"), but I don't know what each variable means. Can some body tell me how I can get more detailed information about each variable? Thank you! Jun
