Thanks, both of you, for the helpful links. It's good to get things
from a few different perspectives. Tim Smith's pages were a quick,
fun read. There's a lot there that I wish I'd known when I was
struggling through a couple R scripts I wrote. I still feel like
I've barely scratched the surface, as did Tim's article. Lots of
other odd inconsistencies in R, like row.names vs colnames and stuff
like that. And that's before you even start learning about the
oodles of stats libraries available and how to use them, including
their often inconsistent requirements/specs for arguments &
return values.<br>

I wish I had known of this resource the last time
I tried to use R for something. Maybe it will help
someone else.<br>
