Now if B subset of R(m) is a convex set, we define the norm parallel to P parallel to(B) := sup{vertical bar(x)vertical bar : x is an element of B} on P(n)(R(m)), and then we investigate the inequality vertical bar vertical bar vertical bar P vertical bar vertical bar vertical bar(B) <= C(B)vertical bar vertical bar vertical bar P vertical bar vertical bar vertical bar(B), providing sharp estimates on C(B) for some specific spaces of polynomials. These C(B)'s happen to be the unconditional constants of the canonical bases of the considered spaces. %~
