Can you give me an idea of *how* to do that? I've scoured Venables and
Ripley, as well as various other help guides to no avail...

inside a function, but don't return it at the end of the function,
it's gone. You can't get it back. So you need to return it as an
element in a list object (for multiple matricies of different
dimensions, for example) or in an array (for matricies of the same
dimension). Having saved your output from the function, you need to
extract the elements that you wish to manipulate (by remembering its
list name, or position in the array).

Subject: [gov2001-l] objects defined inside functions...
I'm having problems with my code: R
doesn't recognize the objects I
define in my function, though it does recognize (and as far as I can
tell, correctly execute) the function. But, I need the
internally-defined objects in order to do other calculations. Any
thoughts on why R won't let me see those objects (matrices,
specifically)?
