Rtips (was Re: [R] ? building a database with a the great /cookbook

[Frank Mattes]

For  me as a beginner a cookbook would be welcome. so many great code 
examples are posted into the help list, but finding these is quite 
difficult. I think it comes all down to the problem who is compiling 
/ contributing and can judge what should go in.
In this respect, Detlef Steuer (suggestion , might be a solution
