Hi! I understood that I did not understand the example due to my lack of R knowledge. That is the point you made. However I read a book on R, the introduction on R, and several tutorials on R, and I still never saw the use pattern presented in the example. Thus I think my proposal to present more comprehensible examples is a valid one. Alternatively the introduction to R could be extended to a level that allows the user to understand the example presented. Honestly there are many example I don't understand (plus descriptions that I hope to understand from the examples). While I understand that R developers prefer to be left alone, not hearing about such issues, I think even R developers could benefit from hearing of beginner's problems. Anyway R developers are free to forward messages to R-help if they think more appropriate for R-help. > > As such this was completely inappropriate for R-devel and should > have gotten to the R help list R-help.
