Summary: replacements help?

["Michael Slattery" <Michael.Slattery@epa.state.oh.us>]

Thanks to Brad Biggerstaff, jvs@stat.ohio-state, Bill Dunlap, Sam Buttrey, and 
Thomas Jagger for "insightful" input (sorry :). 

To my inquiry about  replacements using a single join condiion between tables, 
respondents recommended either match() or merge(), both of which will do the 
job, depending on what you need for the outcome. 

Thanks for responding... what a great resource you all are!
best regards,
