The problem is not with the assign function per se but with the use of
frame = 1 as an argument to assign.  R uses evaluation environments
and S used evaluation frames.  frame = 1 was special, although I have
forgotten which one it was.

Kathie, I would try removing the call to assign altogether and seeing
if the rest of your S-PLUS script works as intended.
