Not really. The parent env. in S (or should I say: the other implementation of S) is essentially the global environment only. Actually, a little more complex since S operates with an "expression frame" which is kind of sandwiched in between the function frame and the global frame. However you don't have automatic access to the variables of the caller as you would have in dynamic scoping. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Blegdamsvej 3 c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics 2200 Cph.
