Looking for..."function", ignored one..?
Looking for..."function", ignored one...?This happens when an object you have created has the same name as a function somewhere later on your search list. S knows that it is looking for a function, so it ignores your object with the same name. To avoid warning messages such as this, rename or remove your object. Such messages often result from creating objects with simple names like "c", "q", or "t" that are also the names of standard S functions.
Of course, if you create a function on the working directory with the same name as a built-in function, then your function will be used instead of the built-in function.
S-PLUS has a function, called masked(), that lists objects in your
.Data that have the same name as other objects on the search list.
A similar function, called find(), lists all directories
in which its argument name exists.
A nice way to run S in Unix is using the S-mode within the Emacs editor. Features include recall of past commands, a session log, and easy editing of functions and scripts.
A current version of the emacs-lisp software for running S-mode is
available from statlib as /S/gnuemacs4.
Using a Web brower, the most recent version of the software
may be obtained from Lancaster University.
For questions on S-mode for Emacs, ask for help on the S-mode
mailing list. To get information describing this mailing list send a
