R lists do have names, but they are not hashes. You can have duplicate names in different positions in a list.

You can also access elements by number using [[i]] HTH, + seth ______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
