- allows you to easily reference the chapter from other chapters of your

- from time to time making it hard to manage for maintainers and for the CVS

! &kapp; is meant to be(come) an easy to use graphical frontend to the powerful R language for statistical computing. Since R is a full featured programming language, &kapp; will never be able to offer a complete GUI for everything in R. However, &kapp; strives to make common task simple, to provide an easy entry point for newcomers, while at the same time, transparent access to the full power of the underlying R language is provided for advanced users.
