I found out today (maybe I had known sometime before??) that objects() is a synonym for ls(). I'm curious about the history, which seems to go at least back to the beginning of R. It's been thus since SVN revision 2 (Sep 1997) ...
svn cat https://svn.r-project.org/R/trunk/src/library/base/R/attach@2 | grep objects I had a quick look at the Becker & Chambers brown book (1984) and Becker and Wilks blue book (1988) on Google books and could find ls but not objects() ... ? Anyone happen to know? cheers Ben Bolker ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
