Names of coefficients in GLM

[yiwu ye <yiwu21111958@yahoo.com>]

Dear List,

This is a simple example showing what I am after.

Number<-c(1,2,2,4,5,4,12,15,13)
Region<-c(rep("South",3),rep("West",3),rep("North",3))
X1<-c(c(1,2,3),c(2,3,2),c(3,4,5))
dat<-data.frame(Number=Number,Region=Region,X1=X1)
fit<-glm(Number~X1+Region)
summary(fit,cor=F) gives:
....
Coefficients:
                 Value Std. Error   t value
(Intercept)  4.8571429  1.2568582  3.864511
         X1  0.5714286  0.4379917  1.304656
    Region1 -5.2619048  0.5839889 -9.010282
    Region2 -0.9285714  0.2433287 -3.816119
.....
The names Region1 and Region2  are confusing particularly when there are many levels. I remember I got the names like RegionSouth and RegionWest before, but I don't know how to get that kind of coefficient names. Could anyone help?

Thanks,

Yiwu
