[BioC] function handle in R

[Wolfgang Huber]

Dear Javier

Functions in R are just variables like everyone else, so you can simply 
write:
   handleFunction=function1 or
   handleFunction=function2 etc.

Have a look into the book by Robert Gentleman
http://www.bioconductor.org/pub/RBioinf
or the online introduction to R
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-intro.html
esp. chapter 10. This might save you a lot of time.

	Best wishes
	Wolfgang
