Yes, it works.  Thanks!   I see that the row names are now: 1, 1.1,
1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 2, 2.1  .....

It does not bother me, but is this going to be a problem later on?  I
need to further manipulate the first 2 columns.   This is what I would
like to do:

(1) the first column should have: "doc_date", "doc_type", "doc_id",
"title", "author", "author_cat" repeated down the data frame.   You
can see that there are 6 strings, one for each of the 6 replicated
rows.

(2) Then I need to replace in the second column all values except the
one on the 3rd replication.

Thanks a bunch!  This is my dissertation work, so very, very important
for me :-)

Best,
Henri-Paul
