Subject: [Rd] copy an external pointer on assignment
Message-ID: <BED4CCBD-5F6A-4B69-92DE-FD2263645CDA@epfl.ch>

Is there a mechanism in R for copying the business end of an external  
pointer on assignment?  For instance, if x is an external pointer and  
I enter

   > y <- x

I would like to make a copy of the structure that x refers to and  
assign its address to y.

Thanks,
Kjell
