Louise, apart from the excellent advice you have already received 
from others on the list I would suggest that if you really, really do 
not have a scientific theory and need go data fishing the correction 
named after Bonferroni is unlikely to be the best approach. There are 
other methods available in p.adjust to which your attention has 
already been drawn.
