R-beta: offset code in glm....

[Mike Meyer]

I'm trying delve into the offset code in glm, and I have to admit I'm getting 
lost.

My particular concern is that if you do something like

	glm( fred ~ wilma, offset=barney, data=betty)

then the offset is not found if  barney is a component of the data frame 
betty. (If you do the same thing with weights, then the weight is found in the 
data frame).

I don't know if this is a design decision, and I can't follow the logic of the
	model.offsets
code.  

I'm willing to try to fix the behaviour of the offset code, but I could use 
some help understanding what all the current code.  In particular is the 
function called
	model.extract
(which seems to play with offsets?) used anywhere.

Thanks, --Mike
