      The short answer is, RKWard does not have any built-in support for this package (i.e. no graphical menus/dialogs), so you will have to use the R Console ("Console de R").

      For a slightly longer answer: Unfortunately, there is not yet a standard way to get information on a package. But after loading the package, you can switch to the Workspace Browser (Espaco de trabajo), right click on any of the functions in the package, and chose "Search Help". That has links to an index page, and in the case of the interval package, the index has a link to an overview in PDF format. Read that first, and see if it answers your questions.

      If after that you feel completely lost, perhaps take a thorough look at this, first: Help->Help on R->An Introduction to R.

      If you feel you understand the basics, but just can't get this or that to work, feel free to come back with a more specific question. However, in that case you may want to post to r-help, instead, to profit from the larger user base (see http://www.r-project.org/posting-guide.html\).

      If you get things to work, alright, but you think RKWard should really offer a graphical user interface for that, consider contributing a plugin: http://rkward.sourceforge.net/documents/devel/plugins/index.html
