Discussion
The base distribution of R includes a wealth of documentation—literally thousands of
pages. When you install additional packages, those packages contain documentation
that is also installed on your machine.
It is easy to browse this documentation via the
help.start
function, which opens a
window on the top-level table of contents; see
