1. Do give a subject line -- a blank one is commonly used by a virus.
2. In R/S+/most functional languages, you do not want to write a "for
loop". Use apply (and friends) instead.

For example, if you wanted to know the stocks share of the total market as
a fraction, you'd use something like:
sapply(myData[,c(2:4)], function(x) {
return(as.numeric(x)/as.numeric(myData[,4])) })
