Have you done an R tutorial?  e.g.

http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-intro.pdf

(This ships with R. There are many others around the web. Just search).

If not, please do not post further until you have done so. You cannot
complain of ignorance when you have not made an honest effort to
learn. And if you have already, post away.

Cheers,
Bert
