Thanks for your information. I see I was spelling it wrong. Can I make the suggestion that if one does "help(help)", which I tried, that the page should mention "apropos". Perhaps in the "See Also" section. This was a mistake on my part, but documentation can be helpful in response to user mistakes, rather than fragile. thanx - ray > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Peter Dalgaard >> Sent: Monday, May 21, 2007 3:15 AM >> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> Subject: Re: [Rd] section needed in FAQ - Using R (PR#9698) >> >> [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >>> By the way, the R program itself is really badly in need of an >>> "appropos()" to go alongside "help()".
