(1) I am afraid that I have no idea what you're asking.  It seems to me 
that you need to learn how to "do R".

(2) I'm puzzled by your "str(y)" output given above.  If the "y" in 
question is that from the commands that I sent you, then it should be a 
list with *5* entries, not 30!

Note that y is a *list* of 5 vectors, the first of which consists of all 
those entries of your original data vector that lie between 13.2 and 
115, the second of which consists of all those entries of your original 
data vector that lie between 115 and 217, and so on.

It doesn't seem very complicated to me.  What is it that you don't 
understand?

cheers,

Rolf Turner
