Hi all, If I would like to make a list of complex objects -- in my case, phylogenetic trees, but it could be e.g. statistical results from something like lm, or whatever -- how can I put them into a list? When I try the obvious methods, e.g. cat, append, list, etc., I seem to get weird behaviors where R is trying to merge the subfields within the objects or something. Any help much appreciated. Cheers!! Nick -- ===================================================Nicholas J.
