2.6 Getting help with R

Documentation within R is sometimes helpful, sometimes less so. To see the help file for a given command, enter help(command), or (equivalently) ?command. These will bring up a tutorial with a basic description, usage, arguments, syntax, and other notes about the command. For example, to get help with setting a working directory:

  help(setwd)
  ?setwd

If that fails, ask the internet by searching Google or https://rseek.org/, a search engine dedicated specifically to results about R.
