Hi,
Sorry to bother with something that should be simple, but I can't find it.

Suppose I have a list, each element of which is a 2xN dataframe, where N could be different for each element. Is there some simple structure to let me examine all the elements of each element's first column? For example:

>foo
$first
     [,1] [,2]
[1,]    1    4
[2,]    2    5
[3,]    3    6

$second
     [,1] [,2]
[1,]    1    6
[2,]    2    8
[3,]    3    6
[4,]    4    8

To find the maximum element in all first columns (say, to set the range of a plot where all first columns are x-data), I'd like the legal equivalent of

>max(foo[[*]][,1])
(where here "*" is a wildcard intended to span all elements of foo)

Or do I have to use one of the apply() functions?

thanks
Carl
