All,

I have the following class with slots as functions. For the analysis of MBS 
this is good set-up as it allows for a very clean and modular way of handling 
things.  My question is really geared to understanding what is happening in R.

Below is the function without sato = NULL R CMD throws a warning global 
variable not defined.  With SATO = NULL I do not get the warning.  Why only 
sato and not two and ten which are also inputs?

2.25 + (.06 * two) + (.75 * ten) + sato},
