dear Hadley and Bert,
thank you very much for your suggestions. I asked one question and I
learned 2 things:
1. Hadley,
library(plyr)
ddply(data, .(V1), colwise(cl))
that is exactly what I was searching for.
2. Bert,

I admit I payed not enough attention to the definition of **atomic** vector.
That implies a deeper understanding of structures of data. I'm working with!
Many thanks,
Patrizio
