Many, many thanks to Phil Spector and David Winsemius for their helpful advice regarding this.
Phil Spector suggested me to use library(boot) xx = getAnywhere('print.boot') myprint = xx$objs[[1]] myprint = edit(myprint,editor='notepad') vi(myprint) to edit the function deleting the original function from line 45 ( if (cl[[1]] == "boot") { ) all the way down to line 154 (dput(cl, control = NULL) ) and then use myprint(bemean) to get what I asked. David Winsemius' function does also the trick and gets me what I asked for in my post this afternoon. Thanks David.
