*********Initially, I posted this topic in R-help however, folks there
suggested me to post this in R-devel forum. Here is my
problem*********


Hi all, I am trying to understand the R's "environment" concept
however the underlying help files look quite technical to me. Can
experts here provide me some more intuitive ideas behind this concept
like, why it is there, what exactly it is doing in R's architecture
etc.?

I mainly need some non-technical intuitive explanation.

Thanks,
