Hi everyone,

i'm having a problem extracting objects out of functions i've created, so i
can use them for further analysis. Here's a small example:

# ---------------------------
test <- function(i, j){
        x <- i:j
        y <- i*j
        z <- i/j
        return(x,y,z)
}
# ---------------------------

This returns the 3 objects as $x, $y and $z. I cannot, however, access these
objects individually by typing for example:

test$x

I know i can do this by adding an extra arrow head to the assignment arrow
(<<-), but I am sure that is not how it is done in some of the established R
functions (like when calling lm$coef out of the lm function). Is there a
simple command i've omitted from the function that allows access to objects
inside it?

Thanks in advance,

Steve
