i use tapply and by often, but i always end up banging my head against
the wall with the output.

The proposed solution of Dan's problem posted on R-help was:

do.call(rbind,a)

When I use this 'solution' I get 'ERROR:  second argument must be a list'.  So 
head on wall continues.

My tapply output is generated as follows:

a=tapply(value,list(sampling.date,station.code),mean)

which gives me this (in part):

            A     B     C     D     E     F     G     H     I     J      K

The only way I can figure out how to resolve this, such that I can, for example, plot 
station "A" against date, is to export the tapply output as a csv, and then 
reimport.

Suggestions?  I couldn't find a solution to this likely SIMPLE problem in 
Crawley or multiple searches of R help.
