[R] dropterm in a function

[Göran Broström]

I'm trying to use 'dropterm' (from MASS) in a function along the lines

run <- function(dat){
  fit <- (something)(Y ~ (something), data = dat)
  lr <- dropterm(fit, test = "Chisq")
  return(fit, lr)
}

but running 'run' I get (those scoping rules again...?)

Error in terms.formula(formula, special, data = data) :
        Object "dat" not found

This works fine at the command line. Can I send 'dat' to 'dropterm'
somehow, or what should I do?

Thankful for any suggestion, including reading certain books!

Göran
