Thanks.
psigamma is not in the Math group generic, despite its help page (it
cannot be: it is a function of two arguments) and indeed is not generic.
Technically tetragamma etc still are internally group generic, as although
their R wrappers has been removed they can still be called via .Internal.
We will tidy this up for 2.1.0.

We'll fix this, but you might like to note that sprintf is more bulletproof and as from 2.1.0-to-be, a lot more tolerant, e.g. sprintf(%s, 1) works there and in 2.0.1 gives a useful error message.

You add a column, not replace part of a non-existent column. Isn't that obvious, given what you wrote? Not if you subsequently remove what you wrote, of course. # OK.

I understand now the difference. However, # it is weird for me that this is OK (if column y2 does not yet exist) tmp[y2] - 2 # but this is not tmp[1:2, y2] - 2 What is `wierd' is your insistence that this makes sense. Columns in a data frame are required to be the same length. How is that supposed to be made up to the correct length? Possible for a numeric column with NAs, but not sensible for a raw column or a data frame column or There is a lot of basic documentation on data manipulation in R/S, and a whole chapter in MASS4.

[Rd] R News: Call for Papers
Dear useRs and developeRs, the next issue of `R News' is scheduled for the beginning of May and we are now accepting submissions for this first issue in 2005. For more information see http://cran.r-project.org/doc/Rnews/ If you are the author of a package on CRAN and you would like to promote it a little bit, or if you simply have an interesting application using R, we hope you can find some time to write a short article on it. We suggest that it be approximately 3 pages or less. The idea of the newsletter is that it be interesting to R users without being too technical. For example an article describing a package could begin by briefly outlining the statistical background and go on to demonstrate the usage on some typical data set. Of course graphics are more than welcome! Bill Venables [EMAIL PROTECTED] is also encouraging submissions to the more specialist Programmer's Niche column. In this case the technical level could be a little higher, of course, but not necessarily: ingeniousness is the key. The R Help Desk column is intended to present answers to frequently asked questions as well as tricks that are useful to the majority of useRs. Please send submissions to Uwe Ligges [EMAIL PROTECTED]. The deadline for submissions is April, 10th, 2005 Keep the contributions rolling in!
