[R] Managing Data

[Magill, Brett]

Hello everyone,

Can someone point me to some resources on managing data in R and/or S-plus?

I have started using R more and more often in my work and I really like it.
But, managing data is very different in R and S-Plus than in other packages
that I am accustomed to.  I know that it is an option to use different
workspaces for different projects or to store all objects as source and read
them in each session.  

I am looking for an overview of these data management options and tips /
suggestions for handling multiple R projects efficiently.  I have learned a
lot through trial and error, but I am sure there are some better options.

I want to avoid doing silly things like overwriting a local object by
running a piece of example code that happens to have the same variable name!
I looked in R-intro, but the information there is pretty basic.  Any ideas?

Thanks,

Brett Magill
