[R] How to start R

[Stephen Liu]

Hi Erik,

Thanks for your advice and URL

q() is on the last line of the printout on starting R
Type 'q()' to quit R.

Sorry I overlook it

B.R.
Stephen

What does "did not work" mean?

help.search("quit")

leads you to:

?quit

or

should terminate the R session.

I suggest you read "An Introduction to R" at 
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-intro.html, where q() is first mentioned 
in section 1.5.
