R help - Feb 2001 - print()

Hi, I've two questions. Please help me. Thanks!

--- Question (1) ---
When I type:   print("School Name")
the output is: [1] "School Name"
How to get rid of the '[1]' and the double quotes "" 
and make the output like this: School Name

--- Question (2) ---
I got the following output by typing "summary(data)".

    dstuser        dstmethod        numaction    
 Min.   :1.000   Min.   : 1.000   Min.   : 5.00  
 1st Qu.:2.000   1st Qu.: 2.000   1st Qu.: 7.00  
 Median :2.000   Median : 7.000   Median :16.00  
 Mean   :2.667   Mean   : 5.222   Mean   :23.11  
 3rd Qu.:4.000   3rd Qu.: 7.000   3rd Qu.:24.00  
 Max.   :4.000   Max.   :10.000   Max.   :66.00  

How to make the output in grid and look like this:

+--------+---------+----------+-----------+

+--------+---------+----------+-----------|
| Min.   |  1.000  |    1.000 |      5.00 |

Use cat():

	cat("School Name")

or:

	cat("School Name\n")

to add a carriage return.

I do not see a straightforward way to do this. You can probably write a
function to do this. If you use LaTeX, there is a package on CRAN that
prepares a table in a format suitable for LaTeX.
