| Thanks Dirk!  However, I'm trying to pass several numbers as a single
| argument, which should be turned into a numeric vector, and doing
| as.numeric() fails:
| 
| $ r littler_ex.R 14 '3, 2'
| [1] NA

No different from splittin a string in R, ie strsplit and do.call("rbind")
should do.

Gotta run,   Dirk
