Factor Madness

You may be haning Ion coerced into a factor.  Have a
look at
http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/98260.html
for some discussion of this. 

I find that I usually set 
options(stringsAsFactors = FALSE)  just because of
this but as Gabor points out it may have its own
disadvantages in sharing code.  I spent 2 hours once
trying to get an example to work only to find that the
code assume options(stringsAsFactors = TRUE).
