I'm a newbie so mine;s probably not the best but it seems to work:

multipleoutput<-function(x)
{
	answer<- c(0,0,0,0)
	MyFuncNames <- c("Squared","Cubed","Exp","Fac")
	answer$squared<-x^2
	answer$cubed<-x^3
	answer$exponential<-exp(x)
	answer$factorial<-factorial(x)
	return(answer)
}

X = c(0,0,0,0)
X
mode(X)
names(X)

MyNames = c("Squared","Cubed","Exp","Fac")
MyNames

names(X) = MyNames
X <- multipleoutput(2)

X
class(X)

dim(X)
