hi:  I have a y vector and an x data frame.  is it possible to use the 
standard linear regression (lm, summary.lm) without having to construct 
a formula, i.e., all x variables should be used.

    x <- data.frame( rnorm(10), rnorm(10) );  # <-- well, this would 
really be read from a file
    y <- rnorm(10);  # ok, also read from the file.
    lm (y ~ x);  # this is sort of what I want to do, but of course, it 
is not.

thanks for any tips.  regards, /iaw
