Good, thanks!
P.S. - More generally, huge thanks to all developers of this impressive
R system. I have an idea of the constant courage and long dedication it
takes for reaching the usability and maturity R already has.
>(The FAQ does suggest you check there before sending a bug report.)
Yes, I know (and even checked the FAQ first, as I could quickly do it).
I had to choose between putting more time in research that I had at my
disposal, and not sending a report. If I did the wrong choice, just
tell me, and I'll merely refrain in similar circumstances.
I may be a very patient nit-picker, and while this is advantageous for
a system, it is sometimes irritating for those maintaining it.
