Erik, I see the following when I type "apply" at the prompt: > apply standardGeneric for "apply" defined from package "base"
function (X, MARGIN, FUN, ...) standardGeneric("apply") <environment: 0x03cad7d0> Methods may be defined for arguments: X, MARGIN, FUN Use showMethods("apply") for currently available ones. Also, whether I type "mean" at the prompt, or I type "edit(mean)", I do not see the underlying code for function "mean".
