Thank you, Rolf, for this well-deserved spanking :-)

I promise to amend my ways and think before I send in the future.

Best,
Stephan

Assuming your data are in a data.frame called dataset,

apply(dataset,2,median)

should work. Look at

?apply

Note that apply() works with ***matrices***.  The foregoing code will
work, given that all columns of ``dataset'' are numeric, due to the
fact that apply will *coerce* a data frame to a matrix.

However it should always be remembered that

    DATA FRAMES ARE NOT MATRICES!!!

cheers,
