[R] q() problem and more.

[Steve Arthur]

Hi,

I started playing around with my workspace (see other e-mail for
background), by typing statements like, c <- c("hello world"), in other
words overwriting one of the objects I could not rm(), then I tried
rm()ing it and the object disappeared, then I was able the rm() other
objects I did not want, and the error message stopped appearing (I forget
what it was), and I was able to work on my function, and statistically it
works.  It is a very simple outlier detect test by Grubb.  Is there any
way to submit functions like these to the R development crew, I would
probably be a useful low-level test and much better than Dixon's test.  I
am going to work on the Grubb test for two outliers.  A good way to learn
R.

Thanks for the help, I am not sure what happened there,

steve
