R help - Jan 2006 - silly, extracting the value of "C" from the results of somers2

Sorry I have a very simple question:

I used somers2 function from Design package:
> z<- somers2(x,y, weights=w)
results are:
>z
 C    Dxy    n    Missing
 0.88  0.76  500    0.00

Now I want to call only the value of C to be used in further analyses, but I 
fail to do it. I have tried:
> z$C
NULL
> z[,C]
Error in z[,C]: incorrect number of dimensions

and some other silly things. If I do 
>list(z)
[[1]]
  C    Dxy    n    Missing
 0.88  0.76  500    0.00

Can somebody tell me how can I obtain just the value of c?

Thank you useRs,

very gratefull

Ahimsa

(I think that somers2() is in package:Hmisc.)
The help page clearly says that somers2 returns a vector and
there's an example on the help page that does _exactly_ what you ask!

z["C"]  or  z[1]
