People have written programs that try to do what you want to do.
Problem is, even the best ones don't work well enough for practical use


Okay the fact that people have tried to write such programs suggest that they too see such a need for such a program.

Anyway getting back to the real world we what we have now, can any suggest a book or URL for a step by step example of how to solve using least squares on the equation using R

Results = b0 + b1 * var1 + b2 * var2 + b3 * var3 ... + bn * varn

Try chapter 11 of An Introduction to R, or some of the other documentation on CRAN (http://cran.r-project.org/), including the contributed documentation.
