You are right. The language does not have that many commands: "There are usual suspects". What makes it interesting is the number of packeges to cover almost all statistical and econometric methods.

To start I would suggest Tinn-R for windows and RKward for Linux (Google for links). Within a week you will be up and running.

"Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. But today is a gift, and that is why it's called the present."
