The OP should note that lists in general *do not have* columns.  Data 
frames (which are a special case of lists) do have columns.

Lists have "*entries*" or "components".  It is important to get your 
terminology right and to understand the concepts that you are dealing 
with.  Slap-dash hammer and hope is a recipe for disaster, especially
in R.
