You need to print the answer: the last is printed by auto-printing.
More generally, if you want something printed in a function, you
need to print it explicitly. This applies to braced expressions too,
so
{
x<-seq(1,10)
y1<-x+rnorm(10,1,1.5)
y2<-x+rnorm(10,1,1)
t.test(x,y1,paired=TRUE)
t.test(x,y2,paired=TRUE)
}
shows the effect.
