Hi all,

I have a very simple problem that I cannot seem to find the answer to. Consider 
the following toy dataset:

x <- read.table(textConnection("V1 apples bananas cherries
indv.1 7 8 4 3
indv.2 7 7 4 9"), header = TRUE)

How would I change the column name of ONLY the first column, not the others? 
Surely I should not have to re-specify the names of ALL the columns -- e.g., 
colnames(x) <- c("pears", "apples", "bananas", "cherries") -- if only the first 
column name will change.

Thanks very much,
Josh
