apply functions on several objects all at once. (having strange difficulties to post this message thru)

["Steve Su" <s.su@qut.edu.au>]

Dear All,

Is it possible to apply a function on several objects all at once?

I have a list of objects with names like

Apple.field.1
Apple.field.2 to
Apple.field.100

each of the Apple.field.1 is a matrix with 10 columns and 200 rows. Is it
possible to do a one line statement to find the colMeans for each of the
objects?

Thank you for your attention. I am using S+ 6 on Windows 2000.
