Seems like this question was asked a few months ago. :-)

I might volunteer at some future time.  Meanwhile, as I said, there is
my mini-tutorial, at

   http://heather.cs.ucdavis.edu/~matloff/r.html 

It's reasonably good now, but I probably will be adding to it during the
next couple of weeks, as I have a research project which requires me to
use some features I haven't used before.

By the way, an update on the Prosper/Beamer (packages for using LaTeX to
make slide presentations) discussion of last week: I checked it out, and
I must say that Beamer is outstanding, a substantial improvement in
functionality over Prosper.  It needed a bit more work to install than
stated in the instructions, and it does seem that the price paid for
that extra functionality is a steeper learning curve.  I intend to write
up a mini-tutorial on Beamer when I get time, maybe next week.
