Having problems with message search?
Within R, there is a feature called R Commander. Once loaded, it is menu-driven. Further, as it runs, it writes the code so you learn how to program as you go along.
Unfortunately, I only learned about it after I went through the steepest part of the learning curve. And although I probably should use it sometimes, I tend to rely on the help documentation or my statistician friend who is an R grand master...very helpful if you have one.

“But R has also quickly found a following because statisticians, engineers and scientists without computer programming skills find it easy to use.”This is an example of why I don’t read newspapers on or off line.
