[R] Zero Index Origin?

I'm very new to R and utterly blown away by not only the language but the unbelievable set of packages and the documentation and the documentation standards and... I was an early APL user and never lost my love for it and in R I find most of the essential things I loved about APL except for

Re: [R] Zero Index Origin?

Thanks for the input. I'm new to classes and object orientation as well as to R and was sorta hoping to hear that a solution might exist within that structure. Would existing functions be able to deal with such objects and see them as the 1 origin objects that they expect? A solution to backward
