Also:
1. Have you used "help.start()"? This opens a display in a
browser with links to the available manuals.
2. There are multiple mailing lists and multiple search engines
listed in "www.r-project.org".
3. Have you subscribed? I had the impression that moderator
approval was only required for questions from non-subscribers.
4. The "sos" package available from CRAN searches all the help
pages in contributed packages and returns the results as a data.frame of
class "findFn", with powerful union, intersection, subsetting, and
summary functions. The default "print" method displays the results in a
table in a web browser displaying first all the matches in the package
with the most matches, with hot links to the selected manual pages. I'm
the lead author of the package, and I developed it to help me quickly
find all the help pages and packages with apparent connections to a
particular search strategy. The package also includes a vignette to
make it easier to learn.
5. Have you tried "help.search"? I rarely use it, because it
searches only installed packages and has been quite slow in my
experience. However, it is much faster than posting a question to r-help.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
Are there any other forums on R where I can get quick responses to my
questions? I've lot of questions as I am learning the basics and
exploring
advanced computational functions and it is tough to wait for moderator
approval then a reply to each of those questions.
Quickest way is to use help pages, R intro and other docs presumably
installed in your computer and CRAN search facilities together with some
contributed documentation.
Regards
Petr
thanks!
