Really? Why is that? In all the books I've seen so far, it's one of  
the first things I was told when talking about data frames. Is there  
a more convenient way of dealing with data frames?

I'm open to suggestions. Frankly the only reason I used it is that  
this is what SPSS calls it, if I recall correctly. Actually, now that  
I remember, I used it because that's also the word I found in  
Verzani's "Simple R" notes, which I am going through at the moment.

As you can see, I am new to R, didn't even know about cumsum and  
cumplot. Just adding functions as I encounter them. So keep your  
corrections/additions/comments coming.
