	"S" is not a language; it is an interactive system for statistical
	analysis, and it supports graphic displays, user-hidden data
	representation and storage, and all sort of goodies, so that 
	statisticians can do their thing without worrying about how we
	computer jockeys do our thing.   Examples of things one might do
	with S include regression analysis, prob. density function fitting,
	scatter plots, and so on.  It was/is written at Bell Labs and is
	available from them.
