Okay, I see, there is no really "easy" way (I was wondering whether I can set an environment as default for new created variables). Is there any difference if I call

myenv$myvar <- 10
or
assign("myvar",10, env=myenv)
?

I think you need assign, see ?assign for more details.

Hi there,

I try to understand the usage of environments but I'm not sure if I get it.
I wrote a test script like this:

testenv <- new.env(environment())

myfun <- function(x) {
       print(testvar)
       testenv$testvar_2 <- 20
}
environment(myfun) <- testenv

testenv$testvar <- 10

As Henrique said, the canonical way of assigning a value within an
environment is the "assign".  A more obscure, but also more effective,
approach is evalq which quotes an expression then evaluates it in the
given environment.  For example

env <- new.env()
evalq({aa <- 1:3; bb <- LETTERS[1:9]; cc <- list(A = aa, B = bb)}, env)
objects(env)
[1] "aa" "bb" "cc"
env$aa
[1] 1 2 3

myfun("hello")
ls(envir = testenv)

Now, I was wondering if there is any way to create new variables in my
environment without this "testenv$...". I know that I can access it that way
if I do an attach(testenv) before, but that does not help when creating new
ones...
Do I completely misunderstand the concept?
I'm just looking for an elegant way to access objects of a graphical
userinterface from each handler-function and so on. And I thought it might
be good to pack them into an environment...
