\description{A quick way to show the first and last n lines of a data.frame, matrix, or a text object.  Just a pretty call to \code{\link{head}} and \code{\link{tail}}
}
\usage{
headtail(x,hlength=4,tlength=4,digits=2)
}
%- maybe also 'usage' for other objects documented here.
\arguments{
  \item{x}{ A matrix or data frame or free text}
  \item{hlength}{The number of lines at the beginning to show}
  \item{tlength}{The number of lines at the end to show}
  \item{digits}{Round off the data to digits}
}
