R help - Jul 2004 - retrieve rows from frame assuming criterion [corrected]

Still wrong:
> x <- data.frame(a = sample(letters[1:3], 10, replace=T), b=1:10)
> x
   a  b
1  a  1
2  a  2
3  b  3
4  b  4
5  a  5
6  a  6
7  b  7
8  b  8
9  b  9
10 c 10
> subset(x, a == c("b", "c"))
   a  b
3  b  3
7  b  7
9  b  9
10 c 10
> subset(x, a %in% c("b", "c"))
   a  b
3  b  3
4  b  4
7  b  7
8  b  8
9  b  9
10 c 10

What matters is the use of "%in%" instead of "==", not the
use of subset().
