Psigh!  Clearly Model4 is *not* an array!!!  It is an object of some 
"specialised" class (for which there is specialised print() method).  I 
have no idea what that class might be, but *you can tell.  What does

    class(Model4)

return?

Where did this "Model4" object come from?  What are you trying to *do*?

You might be able to get somewhere by searching (e.g. via Google) on
"subsetting objects of class melvin" where "melvin" is what is returned 
by "class(Model4)".

Doing

     str(Model4)

could be enlightening (but given your stubborn refusal to acquire 
insight into the workings of R, I am not optimistic).

This is not magic or religion.  You need to *understand* what you are 
dealing with, and proceed rationally.  Don't just hammer and hope.

cheers,

Rolf
