Dear all,

I am trying to add a value to a dataframe and name the row with a number.  I 
have tried row.name, rowname, and attr(x,"row.names") but none seem to work.  It 
seems like it should be simple, so not sure why I can't get it to work.  Any 
suggestions?

Thanks,

Tim



x<-seq(1,20,2)
y<-seq(20,1,-2)
xy<-data.frame(x,y)
xy<-rbind(xy,c(0,0))

#Threeattempts that fail
row.names(xy[11,])<-c("12")
rownames(xy[11,])<-c("12")
attr(xy[11,], "row.names")<-c("12")
