[R] Subset

[Bert Gunter]

 You realize, do you not, that in fact there are no numbers in your "list"
(actually a vector).

It looks like you would do well to spend some time with an R tutorial or
two before posting further to this list. We can help, but cannot substitute
for the basic knowledge that you would gain from doing this.

Cheers,

Bert
