Anyway I've just realised that the search database for R yields no result for '?concatenate' which is surprising.
That's because there's no "concatenate" function in base R. If you want to search for the word "concatenate", use "??concatenate". You won't find the c() function, because it is called "combine", but you'll find several other ways to concatenate.
