Agreed. I don't recommend doing this either. I don't believe it makes any difference using "slot<-" instead of "@<-" in real life. Anyway, that "optimized" code should always work (slower or not) because "slot<-" is fully documented and I don't see why it should be removed or its behaviour should change. That wouldn't only break the kind of code mentioned here but also everything else that makes use of "slot<-". - Torsten ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
