(a) Yes, it's the wrong group. R-help is for general R questions like this. R-gui for discussing graphical user interfaces. (b) Workspaces are just that. They contain a set of objects created by computations, not how they were generated. To see what has been done, there may be a supplemental .Rhistory file, or the original .R script file (+ raw data files). (c) You don't really want to know the structure of .RData files. They contain a serialized encoding of internal R structures. The gory details are in the source code (src/main/serialize.c), if you insist. (d) Now why didn't he just do diff(log10(1:10)) ? -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Øster Farimagsgade 5, Entr.B c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics PO Box 2099, 1014 Cph.
