R help - Feb 2012 - How to figure out the number of data values in a list?

Hello, 

I am working with the following data:

nb10 <-
read.table("http://www.adjoint-functors.net/su/web/314/R/NB10")

I need to figure out how many data values are in this list.

Maybe, 

nrow(nb10) ?

You might want to read the introductory manual that comes with every R
installation.

Also, this is the 3rd post in the last ~36 hours asking elementary questions
about that data set and my homework senses are tingling. Perhaps a moratorium on
them?
