Hi Dennis: One of function argument matching rules in R that arguments after the dotdotdot have to be matched exactly ( see code for paste below ) so that's why your attempt doesn't work. But I would have been surprised also so I'm not trying to imply that one should know which functions have arguments after dotdotdot and which don't.
