The syntax seems correct but I don't quite understand the following statement from the manual: It is possible to include the _results_ of a code block rather than the body. This is done by appending parenthesis to the code block name which may optionally contain arguments to the code block as shown below. <<code-block-name(optional arguments)>> My lack of knowledge of R doesn't help either. A little experimentation should resolve it I think. :) HTH -- Suvayu Open source is the future. It sets us free.
