I'm a newbie to R and  I was hoping someone could answer a simple question.  I 
want to read in an ASCII file with 3 columns - x,y,z.  Let's say there is a lot 
of data - 100,000 entries.  I then want to histogram x values that pass 
arbitrary (and complicated) cuts on y and/or z.  Likewise, I want to make a 
scatterplot with x and y, with a cut on z values.  Perhaps you have to redefine 
the vectors first.

I'm thinking along the lines of
hist(x) for y>0 .and. sqrt(z)<4

or

plot(x,y) for x>0 .and. y>0 .and.z**2 > 100

I cant find this simple task in a first perusal of some of the tutorials.  Any 
suggestions you could give would be helpful.

Thanks in advance.
