Dear Mike and Brian, Thank you very much, this solves my immediate problem. Thanks for your time very much. I will do the reading on those two functions.
I have looked for books that deal with the more programmatic aspects of R instead of the statistical side (e.g. dealing with R objects, manipulating environments, lists in R and the like). I have not seen a huge lot. The books that I have seen that deal with "Programming in R" are actually statistically-focused and, as far as I could find out, do not really cover the programmatic side. Any obvious suggestions for resources that I might have missed? I have several books on R but R programming (as opposed to performing statistical/graphical/mathematical manipulation) is one aspect that I am getting into now and for which I do not have a good reference. The language ref on CRAN is quite helpful but not a good tutorial at all.
