Rather than transport quantities of the Introduction to R (a perfectly

Introduction if they've bypassed it ....
Yes, that would be much simpler. I am hoping that help.search() will
soon be able to look through the indices and tables of contents of the
manuals, so that will be another way to discover the documentation.
Changing the title of the manual would be an unreasonable solution: it
affects authors of dozens of books, not just R Core, who all have to
track down every reference to the old title and write some ugly
disjunction instead.
