R help - Nov 2011 - Create a function with multiple object as an output

I've seen some questions regarding the output of multiple objects from a
function, however the suggestions  all end up suggesting the use of
return(list(result1=result1, result2=result2 , result3=result3)).

How can I return multiple objects that are 2 big to be added to a list?

Write an R program to draw 10,000 random samples using the Polya Urn Scheme
where the initial contents of the urn is one white ball and one black ball.
Accumulate the proportion of white balls after each draw into one vector.
Upload your R script file.
HINT: You can simulate sampling one ball from an urn with N balls of which w
are white and N - w are black with the Binomial R function: rbinom(1,1,w/N). 

can someone assist me with the above code?

I'm not sure what you mean: what kind of objects are too big to add to a
list?

An example would be useful here. A list is the correct way to return multiple
results, and that's what R functions do, even the ones that return large
objects.

This makes absolutely no sense at all.  What on earth are you talking
about?
