That is good to hear.

OK

Makes sense.

If you tell me how, I could do this. How did you identify the characters
"ownFree" as causing the being in that face?

The last lines continue like this - if it helps:

,----
| - [ ] mahat ::
| #+begin_src R
| fn <- file.path(CACHE, "wpFitMultiple.fitOptim.wpLEL.mahat.multiple_NelderMead..rds")
| 
| fileNames <- list(
|     mahat.fit.all   = "wpFitMultiple.fitOptim.wpLEL.mahat.multiple_NelderMead.fit_all",
|     mahat.fit.10    = "wpFitMultiple.fitOptim.wpLEL.mahat.multiple_NelderMead.fit_10x100",
|     mahat.fit.100   = "wpFitMultiple.fitOptim.wpLEL.mahat.multiple_NelderMead.fit_100x100",
|     mahat.excl.1    = "wpFitMultiple.fitOptim.wpLEL.mahat.multiple_NelderMead.excl_1x50"
| ##     mahat.excl.10   = "wpFitMultiple.fitOptim.wpLEL.mahat.multiple_NelderMead.excl_10x50",
|     )
| <<analysisMultiple>>

No - see the attached screenshot - maybe it helps you?

Hopefully it is easier.
