I also request the R Core consider remaining "An Introduction to
R" to something like "R User's Guide." It spans 100 pages and
treats many topics far beyond the introductory level. I was
surprised at the wealth of information it contains, and I expect
that I would have checked it first, not last, among available
resources had it been more accurately named.
