Hi all, Sorry about this, my brain finally ticked over.
I just need to convert the list of brobs to a numeric vector (which I can do,as the answer to the calculation need not be a brob -- just the terms along the way). so nums<-sapply(t,as.numeric) Does the trick in my case, I think.

I have to work my way through a vector with a for loop to act on each element in a calculation (refering to the previous value in the new vector of results -- so as far as I know I can't use "apply") -- this produces a list of brobs. My problem is, how do I act on, plot this list, or do vector calculations with the elements? From the other emails I have read there does not seem to be a means of indexing a range of elements from a list. library(Brobdingnag) t<-c(as.brob(5), as.brob(6), as.brob(7), as.brob(8), as.brob(10)) > t [[1]] [1] +exp(1.6094) [[2]] [1] +exp(1.7918) [[3]] [1] +exp(1.9459) [[4]] [1] +exp(2.0794) [[5]] [1] +exp(2.3026) > t[2:4] [[1]] [1] +exp(1.7918) [[2]] [1] +exp(1.9459) [[3]] [1] +exp(2.0794) So if you try plotting that against another variable: xval<-c(1,2,3,4,5) plot(t,xval) you get nothing useful. Does anyone have some suggestions as to how to make this list of brobs more useful? I thought cbind might help (cbind(t)) but that did not work.
