R help - Dec 2001 - Using sample() twice (bootstrapping from > 1 vector)

All,

I am using sample() to take bootstrap replicates and want to be able to
take replicates from multiple columns in a data.frame. I have done this
by using set.seed() to set the seed to the replicate number:

        for(i in i:10) {
          set.seed(i)
          x <- sample(...
          set.seed(i)
          y <- sample(...
          }                       
 
prior to the call to sample(). Is there a better way of doing this? Any
way of getting rid of the for() loop?

Mark
