Hi Peter,
You're absolutely correct! The description for 'range' in 'boxplot' help file
is a little bit confusing by using the words "interquartile range". I think it
should be changed to the "length of the box" to be exact and consistent with
those in the help file for "boxplot.stats".

This should be made consistent.
