I did not know... note: I am not very much knowledgeable about the S
language. What I know from it is through R (for it is rather 'S is not
unlike R' =)   ).

When I looked for this way to extract elements, I naturally looked at the
help for the indexing of elements ("["), but I checked again in R 1.4.0.
I could not find such a thing mentionned... may be in the S documentation
?



Thanks to all the quick answer on a 31st of december =)
