Named components in a list
That is a misleading example. It should say that the name 'matrix' is ignored or use Lst["matrix"] <- list(Mat). (And not all objects can be extended by subscripting. E.g., you cannot extend the number of rows of a matrix with mat[nrow(mat)+1, ] <- 1:ncol(mat). vectors may be extended by subscripting.) Bill Dunlap Spotfire, TIBCO Software wdunlap tibco.com

Well, Bert, then the manual where I found the example must be wrong. It is: http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-intro.html#Constructing-and-modifying- lists And textually it says: Lists, like any subscripted object, can be extended by specifying additional components. For example
> Lst[5] <- list(matrix=Mat)
