[R] Getting started help

[Rthoughts]

Hi Mark,

Thank you for your reply. There is one link I haven't come across, the last
one. I have seen them but I couldn't find where 'how to start R' is
explained for Windows platforms.

I will look further into them.

As for everyone else who sent e-mails, thank you. I have printed them out
and will look into them.
