[R-SIG-Finance] xts - Is there a quick and dirty way to manually edit an xts object ?

[me at censix.com]

Hi to the list. I am looking for a fast way to manually edit an xts object
in R, i.e. by using the de(..) function. See example.

require(xts)
require(quantmod)
getSymbols("YHOO")
is.xts(YHOO) #TRUE

edited<-de(YHOO) # Does not work
edited<-de(as.matrix(YHOO)) # Does work for the values, but the date index
is not editable. Is there a (quick) way to edit the full xts object ?

regards

Soren
