 Dear group,
  
    I am nearly beside myself. After an entire night spent on a  niggling little detail, I am no closer to to the truth. I loaded an  Excel file in .csv form into R. It apparentely loads as a list, but not  the kind of list you can use. Oh no, it converts into a list that  cannot be converted into an integer, numeric, or vector, only a matrix,  whihc is useless without integers.
  
    How can I get a list of the form [1] 1,2,3,4,5 into the form [1]  1 [2] 2 [3] 3 [4] 4 [5] 5? Depending on hwo you define a list,  apparentely, it goes one way or the other.
  
   x <- list(1:5) means you have [1] 1,2,3,4,5
  y <- list(1,2,3,4,5) means you have [1] 1 [2] 2 [3] 3 [4] 4 [5] 5
  
  Can anyone help?#
  
  I woudl greatly appreciate it.
  
  Sincerely,
  Norman Goodacre
