First, no lasting hard feelings - I've had two days of people riding me over minutia like you can't imagine.
When you put this in the context of a possible bug, I'll see what I can turn up for you. FWIW, I think it just the variable name.

I didn't mean to be critical. I'm just trying to understand how you managed to get to the stage where R will show you that 'data' "is a data frame with specific (correct) number of rows and columns, but won't show me what remains in the frame". This should be reproducible. Who knows, you may have found a bug that should be fixed. So what was the precise message from R when it told you that it had the dataframe but wouldn't print it. Can you make up a reproducible example? -Peter Ehlers > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Peter Ehlers [mailto:ehl...@ucalgary.ca] > Sent: Thursday, October 07, 2010 6:53 PM > To: Schwab,Wilhelm K > Cc: r-help@r-project.org > Subject: Re: [R] Deleting observations - can't see the data after that > > On 2010-10-07 17:13, Schwab,Wilhelm K wrote: >> Josh, Jim, >> >> Thanks for responding.
