I can't log into the bug tracker (I can't find where to register /
login).
In this way I can't add the following context diff (hopefully in the right
order) for my changes to the matrix.Rd...
Hmm... I guess this should be a separate report anyway...
The first diff explains how the dimnames list should work, and the second diff
gives an example of using the dimnames list. (no equivelent example exists, and
where better than the matrix man page to show this off).

No, this is really not a bug report __AT ALL__ You had all this long discussion about how the documentation can/could/should/{is_hard_to} be improved and end up sending a *bug report* ? Really! Whereas I value your contribution for improving the matrix help page -- and I do think both changes are worthwhile --- there is no bug, and hence a bug report is *WRONG*! Sending this to R-devel [instead! - not automagically via the bug report] would have been perfectly fine and helpful... dan> The first diff explains how the dimnames list should dan> work, and the second diff gives an example of using the dan> dimnames list. (no equivelent example exists, and where dan> better than the matrix man page to show this off). agreed. I'll put in a version of your proposed improvement, but please do try more to understand what's appropriate for bug reports. Regards, Martin Maechler, ETH Zurich

Dan> OK, I just wanted to post a 'follow up' to the original Dan> 'bug'. I see: In this case, just use e-mail and make sure to keep the *original* 'PR#<...>' in the 'Subject:' line of the mail. As Brian Ripley has once remarked, it may make sense to move the 'PR#<nnnn>' to the beginning of the subject line since that is often wrapped when it becomes somewhat long. Martin
