Thank you Jorge & Michael. I was being stupid - its the only explanation!
The line I had been executing was mtcars[rownames=="Valiant"] # missing rownames argument but the line I quoted in my post was mtcars[rownames(mtcars) != "Valiant",] # How could I write the correct line in the mailing list and not where it matters i.e in R? Thank you. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
