[R] getting values out of functions

[Spencer Graves]

      Have you looked at "writing your own functions" in "An 
Introduction to R", downloadable from "www.r-project.org" -> 
Documentation:  Manuals?  If you want more than one object, you can 
return a list with all the objects you want as components;  see "lists 
and data frames" in the same manual. 

      hope this helps.  spencer graves
p.s. "PLEASE do read the posting guide!

answers to questions like the quicker following this procedure, and your 
questions may be more likely to elicit more helpful responses.
