[R] Deleting a column in a dataframe by name

[Dennis Fisher]

Colleagues,

Hopefully a simple problem: I want to delete a column with a known  
name from a dataframe.  I could write:

	FRAME	<- FRAME[, names(FRAME) != NAMETODELETE]
or
	FRAME	<- FRAME[, !names(FRAME) %in% c(NAME1, NAME2, ETC)]

Is there some simpler means to accomplish this?
