Thanks to all who helped me with my formatting problem.  When it comes to the 
constrcution of summary tables I am now an enthusiastic 
convert to Splus.   - John Warner 

============================================================================
I am having trouble with the cat, format, and round functions.  A loop of the 
following form 

       for (i in 1:4) {
          x <- kruskal.test(t[,i+2],gp)[[3]]
          z1 <- c(med[i,1],med[i,2],med[i,3],med[i,4])
          z2 <- c(mn[i,1],mn[i,2],mn[i,3],mn[i,4])
          z3 <- c(se[i,1],se[i,2],se[i,3],se[i,4])
          cat( "\n",label[i],"  Median",format( round(z1,5)),
               "\n",blank,   "  Mean  ",format( round(z2,5)),
               "\n",blank,   "  S.E.  ",format( round(z3,5)))
       }


Produces output as follows

 Media    Median 0.0010 0.2545 0.1840 0.2510 
          Mean   0.1582 0.2740 0.2124 0.2100 
          S.E.   0.16755 0.15842 0.03433 0.01621
 BCG      Median 0.0010 0.1025 0.2510 0.2510 
          Mean   0.0928 0.2345 0.2514 0.2278 
          S.E.   0.16462 0.17260 0.03792 0.01792
 hsp_65   Median 0.001 0.202 0.001 0.307 
          Mean   0.2708 0.2640 0.0766 0.2944 
          S.E.   0.20541 0.16006 0.02858 0.01663
 SEA      Median 0.0010 0.3905 0.0850 0.1410 
          Mean   0.0010 0.4065 0.1236 0.4936 
          S.E.   0.00000 0.23448 0.01806 0.85485

Can anyone tell me why all of the entries in this table do NOT have the same 
number 
of digits?  What can I do to make these number line up nicely? 

Thanks in Advance
