An assignment function should return the modified value. So it looks

Thanks. I have not thought of a return value. That makes the difference.
but in fact, this doesn't work:
getValue(fn)[[1]] <- 3
Error in getValue(fn)[[1]] <- 3 : could not find function "getValue"
I have a "getValue" function anyway. It was even the other way round. I
wanted to assign values without a function "getValue<-" and was rebuked
by R that this function was missing.
Thanks to both of you, Peter and Duncan.
Best regards,
Daniel
