[R] (no subject)

[Simon Blomberg]

I assume "opened a data set" means that you have attached a data 
frame. If you add new variables to the data frame (e.g. by 
transforming a variable in that data.frame), you will have to 
detach() and re- attach() it in order to get access to the variables 
without using the $ operator. I think this is in the manual somewhere.

Cheers,

Simon.
