Thanks to all for your excellent suggestions. I think will I proceed
working through the Stroustrup book. He has a section on comparing C
with C++ and one on working with legacy C code that may prove helpful. I
also have a "C for Dummies" (something like that, I don't have it right
next to me) that

Great question. As Gabor said, if it is "just for R", there is no point in
learning C or C++. However, learning new programming paradigms is very useful
in and by itself, and being able to extend R with C, C++ or Fortran is
extremely useful for R.
I would suggest what I jokingly call 'C+'
Dear Mark,

You don't necessarily need to know C or C++ to write an R package.
Many (maybe most) R packages only use R.

I have 3 years of experience with R and have an interest in becoming a
better programmer so that I might someday be able to contribute
packages. Other than R, my only experience was taking Lisp from Daniel
Friedman in the 1970's. I would like to learn either C or C++ for
several reasons:
