Is there any documentation about replacement and extraction functions in R,
these fuenctions don't work as in S.

Example with funtion factor.names (of S+ 4.5r2)

> fnombres <- list(tratamiento=LETTERS[1:4], veneno=c("I","II","III"))
> veneno.diseno <- data.frame(
+ factor(rep(c(1,2,3,4), rep(12,4))),
+ factor(rep(rep(c(1,2,3), rep(4,3)),4))
+ )

> factor.names(veneno.diseno) <- fnombres
Error in factor.names<-(*tmp*, value = structure(list(tratamiento = c("A",
: unused argument to function

but the following works

> veneno.diseno <- "factor.names<-"(veneno.diseno, fnombres)

Thanks for the help
