R help - Dec 2006 - return()

Dear R Help, 

Why is it that if you try to return more than one objects using return(), 
it says it is 'deprecated'? So how do I return more than 1 objects back
to
the parent function? 

Thanks, 

Tim

Well, put it in a list and return that list.
It's all written in ?return by the way.

Put them in a list, e.g.

return(a,b)

should be coded as

return(list(a,b))
