R help - Sep 2003 - Using subset with describe in Hmisc

Hello,

This is an embarassingly simple question, but I cannot get subset to work with
describe.

dataframe is attached and called Ph
>describe(q1, subset=qs3a==1)
qs3a is numeric.

This runs, but no subset takes place.

Thanks in advance.

If you type ?describe you won't see a subset argument for describe when the
first argument is not a formula.  Use describe(~ q1, subset=....).
