Oh PLEASE don't make special-purpose changes unnecessarily, especially
in CAPITALS.  My reply was

   You don't need to modify anything.  Just do
   
   mytree$frame$newval <- myfunction(mytree$frame$yval)
   text(mytree, "newval")

If you want to use post.tree, just replace mytree$frame$yval instead.

Whatever has happened to the practice of sending private replies that
the original poster summarizes?
