Abstract
S is a language for the manipulation of objects. It aims to be both an interactive language (like, for example, a UNIX shell language) and a complete programming language with some convenient object-oriented features. This chapter is intended for reference use by interactive users; Venables and Ripley (2000) covers more aspects of the language for programmers.
