I am planning a project where an object-oriented approach would be 
appropriate, and for a number of reasons I would prefer using either 
Python or R.  My problem at the moment is to find out how to do OO 
programming in R.  Are there any introductory texts anywhere ?

I think that 'Software for Data Analysis'
by John Chambers should certainly be
on the reading list.

The third chapter of the book "R Programming for Bioinformatics" by
Robert Gentleman is on object-oriented programming in R.

It seems that that is true. I have a number of R books, but not that 
one.  Thanks for the suggestion.
