It would help if we knew what that command was supposed to do. My guess is that you want the Tr$size with the smallest value of Tr$dev, in which case
Tr$size[which.min(Tr$dev)] would seem to do it. However, there are details like what is to happen if there are ties for the smallest value. (There are simpler ways in S-PLUS to sort one variable by the values of another, for example Tr$size[sort.list(Tr$dev)] which works the same way as in R.)
