Hi,

I want to prohibit the automatic collapsing of degenerate array indices:

str( array(1,dim=c(3,4,5,1,1)) )
 num [1:3, 1:4, 1:5, 1, 1] 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ...
str( array(1,dim=c(3,4,5,1,1))[2:3,1:3,4:5,,] )
 num [1:2, 1:3, 1:2] 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ...

The last command removed the degenerate indices. I don't want that. What
can I do?

Use "drop=FALSE".  See ?"[".

Thanks a lot for the fast help, Duncan and David! Also thanks for the
hint of how to get help for [. I tried ?[ which did not work.

Try instead ?'['

The quoting with "?" is also needed for other functions such as dyadic math Ops and %in% as well as for some Control function such as 'if' and 'break'.
