In ?exists it says:
inherits: should the enclosing frames of the environment be searched? I believe what it is saying is that if inherits is TRUE and it fails to find the variable it will look in the parent environment and the parent of the parent, etc. (as opposed to looking in the calling frame next and the caller of the caller, etc.) Now I thought that standard terminology in R was: 1. enclosing environment or parent environment if one wanted to refer to the parent relative to the parent/child hierarchy of environments or 2. calling frame or parent frame if one wanted to refer to a parent relative to the environments corresponding to the functions in the stack of currently outstanding function calls but here we seem to be referring to a parent frame as a #1. Could someone please clarify what standard terminology is? Thanks. ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
