I am amazed at the number of rather obtuse misunderstandings of the actual nature of Erin's question.
The suggestion that Erin should read the intro to R made me smile. Erin is a long time and highly sophisticated user of R; she has no need to read the intro. The person who made that suggestion should have read her question more thoughtfully.
Also I liked Steve Taylor's and Marc Swartz's nifty solutions that use sapply(); much sexier than my rather kludgy effort using do.call(). Berwin Turlach's combination of do.call() and sapply() is pretty sexy too.
