Could you repeat what the patch was (presumably your mailer claimed that it was non-text)? The text could probably improved if it confuses the reader. Most of what it says is actually implied by the argument defaults (all.x=all, all.y=all), and it is not perfectly logical anyway (all sets the _default_ for all.x and all.y, but you can still set e.g. all=T, all.y=F). I think we could simplify the text to something like all: logical; Provides a convenient way to set both 'all.x' and 'all.y' (defined below). > -roger > > On Sun, Mar 8, 2009 at 9:30 PM, Kasper Daniel Hansen > <khan...@stat.berkeley.edu> wrote: >> Roger >> >> (I think) L is shorthand for some logical value, ie.
