\title{Replacement and/or Addition of new slot or indexed elements using "[[<-"}
\description{
This method replaces the slot with a value that is assigned. In
 circumstances mentioned below, a new slot can also be added.
}
\section{Methods}{
\describe{

\item{x = "ANY"}{ Replaces a slot with the assigned value. }

\item{x = "FCSmetadata"}{Replaces the slot with the assigned value.
  
  If using a single
  character string index such as the slotNames ("mode" or "\$MODE"; "size" or
  "\$TOT"; "nparam" or "\$PAR"; "longnames" or "\$PnS" or "\$P1S" or "\$P2S"
  etc...; "shortnames"or "\$PnN" or "\$P1N" or "\$P2N" etc...; "paramranges"
  or "\$PnR" or "\$P1R" or "\$P2R" etc...;"fcsinfo";"objectname",
  "original", "filename") as well as the "fcsinfo" slotNames can be
  assigned a value. If no
  slot is found by the character index referring to the slotName, then a
  new slot will be made in the "fcsinfo" list with the particular
  character index as the slotName will be added along with the value that
  is assigned.
 

  If using a numeric single-valued or numeric vector index,
  only the "fcsinfo" slots are numerically indexed and assigned a new
  value.}

\item{x = "FCS"}{Replaces the indexed slots of the metadata portion of
  the object; See x="FCSmetadata" (above) for details.}
\item{x="PRIM.step"}{
  replaces the object via a character slot name and/or a numeric
  iteration ID 
  
}

\item{x="PRIM.step.set", y="missing"}{
  replaces the object via a character slot name for the step (ie,
  "peel.step" or "expand.step") and with an optional slot name for the
  "PRIM.step" object.
}

\item{x="PRIM.crossval.step", y="missing"}{
  replaces the object via a character slot name and/or a numeric
  testdata ID}
