Thank you Steffen and Wolfgang

I'm fairly au fait with R, and realise how tedious loops can be, thanks. 
For my needs, because of (i) the uncertain amount of annotation returned 
for some identifiers (ii) sometimes clearly incorrect annotation 
returned,  it's been sometimes easier to run loops.

Apologies if I wasn't clear... my last uncertainty was not lack of 
clarity on single/vector queries, rather how large a single query one 
can send, and that I can't find that info. Knowing that I can run 3000 
queries in one go without server retributions is useful, thanks so much 
Steffen. I'm sorry if it is written somewhere - but perhaps an 
indication of what size query goes beyond sensible in the help/manual?

Apologies for the multiple email - it was a result of me receiving a 
'failed to send' message this side- apparently it had sent.
