multiple numerical variables in aov

Hi Chuck,
 Thanks very much for your help. Just a follow up question..

Like I said I was using aov() instead of anova(). I want to maintain maximum compatability with
what I've been using so far and I notice that manova() is just a wrapper to aov(). How important
is it to use summary(......, test="Wilks") exactly, do you think that the default test statistic
would be sufficient.

Once again, many thanks for your help.

I want something like
     aov(v1 + v2 + v3 ~ g)
Essentially I want to find out whether the variables v1, v2, v3, etc can collectively

discriminate

between different values of variable g. Could somebody tell whether this is possible and if so
how?

Rishabh:
   With v1, v2, v3, and g in the dataframe mydata, try the following:

summary(manova(cbind(v1, v2, v3) ~ g, data = mydata), test="Wilks")

hope it helps,
