Ms. White:

Unless I have seriously misjudged, you really really really need to go
through an R tutorial -- An Intro to R ships with R, but there are
many on the web -- before posting here further. You do not appear to
have made much of an effort to learn even the basics, and I consider
it unfair to post questions here on basic matters that a tutorial
would tell you about.

And, of course, my apologies if I have gotten it wrong.

Cheers,
Bert
