Try Googling 'R and SAS' and you will find lots of information. Here is one URL.

http://www.hollandnumerics.co.uk/pdf/SAS2R2SAS_paper.pdf

In addition there has been a lot of discussion of R on SAS-L in the past year, so check the archives. There are also SAS user group and SGF papers on SAS and R that you can search for (check out Les Jansen's site).

Also check out the link to Documentation -> Contributed on the CRAN site.

Finally, for a simple grid view of dataframes in R you can try
