Assuming that the obvious solution (splitting up the function into pieces) doesn't work you can use options(keep.source=FALSE) to tell R not to store the source text in addition to the parsed code. The only disadvantage of this is that when you list the function source inside R there aren't any comments, but you don't want to do this with 100 pages of code anyway. -thomas ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help
