The conceptual paradigm for R is only marginally commensurate with that of standard statistical software. You must immerse yourself in R to become proficient.
Fortune nomination.
For newer list members wondering what Rolf is talking about try: library(fortunes) fortune() to get a flavor! There are many pearls of wisdom.
For the *really* new members, note that you may have to *install* the
fortunes package first:
> install.packages("fortunes",lib=<wherever you keep added-on packages>)
Note that the package is "fortunes" (with an "s") but the function is
fortune() (no "s").
cheers,
Rolf
