Hi again R People:

>x.ts
       Jan   Feb   Mar   Apr   May   Jun   Jul   Aug   Sep
2000  0.95  0.66  0.83  0.66 -1.45 -1.25  0.33  1.03 -0.48
2001  2.55  1.21 -1.10 -0.63  0.01 -2.20 -0.51  1.12  1.11

Error: couldn't find function

Is there a good way to insert the value into the March 2001 location,
please?
other than:
x.ts[15] <- 10

Thanks in advance!
