Bert,
Your laziness is well founded -- it
is not on CRAN, you have to go all
the way over to another website.
And thanks for the kind words (even
though we Europeans are free to be
ingrates today).

1. Thank you for this. Having not read your tutorial, but based on
what I know of your other efforts, I am sure that you are correct. Is
there a link to this on CRAN somewhere so I can refer to it in future
(too lazy to search myself)?
2. Thank you also for your continuing contributions to R
documentation. I know this takes a lot of work and you do it well.
Would that more R learners would read them -- there would be a lot
less "RTFM" type queries on r-help.
Best,
Bert

It's very seldom that I disagree with

I don't think "An Introduction to R" is
a suitable first read for people with
little computational experience.
Better (I modestly suggest) would be:
http://www.burns-stat.com/pages/Tutor/hints_R_begin.html
which includes some other references.
'Hints' is imperfect and incomplete but
it suffers slightly less from the curse of
knowledge than a lot of other R documentation.

... and you can of course do the assignment:
Bndy<- paste (BndY,"to",50+seq_len(BndY), "mN", sep = " ")
"An Introduction to R" tells you about such fundamentals and should be
a first read for anyone learning R.

Don't do this! paste() is vectorized.
paste (BndY,"to",50+seq_len(BndY), "mN", sep = " ")
Cheers,

Dear R helpers
I'm trying to make up some labels for plot from this vector
BndY<-seq(from = 18900,to= 19700, by = 50)
using
Ylab<-for(i in BndY) {c((paste(i," to ",i+50,"mN")))}
but the vector created is NULL
However if i use
for(i in BndY) {print(c(paste(i," to ",i+50,"mN")))}
I can see the for loop is making the labels I'm looking for but not
sure
on my error in assigning them to a vector
Thanks in advance
