Thanks Henrique and Nathalie for your answers.
Very strange - I thought I had tried that and it had not worked so I came to the conclusion that names did not work on lists. Now it does work, so I must have had some finger trouble.

For example if you have a list like this: list2<-list(1,2,3) list2 [[1]] [1] 1 [[2]] [1] 2 [[3]] [1] 3 How do you make it look like this with names? : f1<-1 f2<-2 f3<-3 list1<-list(name1=f1, name2=f2, name3=f3) list1 $name1 [1] 1 $name2 [1] 2 $name3 [1] 3 Thanks for any help. I expect there is a simple answer but I cannot find it ...
