 You could try my 'R in one page' document (which will be two pages if
you use a non-double-sided printer).

 Side 1 is a very simple introduction, and side 2 has some more
examples for people to cut and paste.

 OpenOffice source and PDF here:

 Feel free to take these and edit to your needs.

 There's more user-contributed docs here:

although a 360 page PDF called "An Introduction to R" is probably a
bit verbose for your needs.
