Thank you,
I will give this a good think

As long as you know what you are doing, and watch out carefully, then you
can do it. BTW, I do exactly what you are saying about manipulating large
data objects. I will use the 'indices' in functions like 'lapply' and in
the body of the function reference that data that is held in the global
obje

Globals are Evil, but, like goto, sometimes they can make a big
program become simpler. I don't see a n
The following will work, but I would suggest that you redesign your
functions so that they do not use 'globals'; It is not nice for functions
to have side-effects.
g_Means<-numeric()
defineSamples<- function()
{
g_Means <<-5 # check out ?"<<-"
}
runit<-functio
My R code has got too complex to have a non-modular approach. Ive done some
coding in other languages before, but I somehow cant figure out R's general
rules for global and local variables. I have put a simple code below, if
anyone can show me what i need to add to make this work, i would greatly
