I figured this out finally. I really believe that the R help write-ups
are sorely lacking.
The help docs are probably not the best way to learn R, but they are
great for users of the functions. I have found that after going through
an introduction book on R or online tutorial (plus experience), that the
help system in R is really, really good at *documenting the behavior of
the functions*, which is the point of them.
As another general hint from someone who has learned R slowly over time,
when something happens that you don't understand on "real" data,
construct a minimal example data.frame and try out your code on that.
Also, learning how to use browser() or the debug package has been very
useful.
