Subject: wait, t(sapply()) does not work

What are the symptoms?

Do "sapply(tester.L, data.class)".  If some of the attributes of 
tester.L are data.frames, then do, e.g., "sapply(tester.L[[1]], 
data.class)".  If the objects passed to "function(x) x <- x[1,]" are 
data.frames, the ouput of "function(x)x <- x[1,]" may be a list, not a 
vector, with attributes of different classes.
