Hi Tammy, I'm afraid this is pretty obviously homework, so we can't really do much to help you. It's not a personal thing: just the considered opinion of this list to believe that giving you answers (or even hefty hints) may undermine whatever intent your teacher has in assigning the problem. There are a good number of us in education of one form or another who wouldn't appreciate having that done, so it's really just professional courtesy.
I can direct you to the help manuals that ship with R, however: simply type help.start() at the prompt and you will be given a good suite of options.
