R-alpha: list assignment

[Robert Gentleman]

Peter,
  They don't work on purpose. Basically this is the same problem as indexing
beyond the end of an array. In almost all cases it is an error.
To add a variable with a specific name to a data frame how about

x (the dataframe)
var1 the variable
name1 the name

 x<-cbind(x,var1)
 names(x)[ncol(x)]<-name1
