\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.
}

    \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"

      "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.

      "peel.step" or "expand.step") and with an optional slot name for the
      "PRIM.step" object.
