[R] print and lapply....

[Bert Gunter]

Well... yes, of course. But assuming the sole purpose is to print the
results and not to save them for further processing, the OP's approach
seems rather painful. My preference would be to vectorize:

> print(cbind(TP, TPsq =TP^2), print.gap = 3)
       TP   TPsq
[1,]    1      1
[2,]    2      4
[3,]    3      9
[4,]    4     16

See ?print.default for details
