You could try my 'R in one page' document (which will be two pages if you use a non-double-sided printer). Side 1 is a very simple introduction, and side 2 has some more examples for people to cut and paste. OpenOffice source and PDF here: http://www.maths.lancs.ac.uk/~rowlings/R/Simple/ Feel free to take these and edit to your needs. There's more user-contributed docs here: http://cran.r-project.org/other-docs.html although a 360 page PDF called "An Introduction to R" is probably a bit verbose for your needs.
