As the maintainer of one of the sites you might search, I do think that this would be time consuming and also somewhat redundant with the many textbooks and introductory documents that are available. Also, it isn't clear to me how you would search the "tips" except by using the same sort of search terms that you can use now. (But if someone can think of a way to solve these problems, I don't want to stop him or her from implementing this idea!) I find the htdig interface that I use fairly powerful. You can use phrases and logic (AND, OR, etc.). Often a fairly general search turns up something that gives me a hint about what search terms I should have used. -- Jonathan Baron, Professor of Psychology, University of Pennsylvania Home page: http://www.sas.upenn.edu/~baron R page: http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/ ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help
