R help - Jul 2010 - Change the frequency of a ts?

I'm trying to convert a column of a table into a ts object.  The data is
monthly, so I want the ts frequency to be 12.

I did this ...
> filings.ts = as.ts(Filings.100K, frequency=12)
> filings.ts
Time Series:
Start = 1
End = 311
Frequency = 1
  [1] 246.9336 305.6789 ... ...
> tsp(filings.ts)
[1]   1 311   1
> tsp(filings.ts) <- c(1,311,12)
Error in attr(x, "tsp") <- value :
  invalid time series parameters specified

What am I doing wrong here?  I can't seem to be able to change the frequency
from 1 to 12.  Thanks!

Use the constructor function ts(), not the coercion function as.ts(). The 
latter does not have a frequency argument. See ?ts.

Not reading the documentation?

c(1, 311, 12) are not valid time series properties because it would imply 
that your series as length 311 * 12 + 1, which is not the case.

try:

filings.ts <- ts(Filings.100K, frequency=12)

example:
test<-runif(312)
test.ts<-ts(test, frequency=12)
tsp(test.ts)
plot(test.ts)

Oh I am late, Achim was faster...
