Ah! Excellent! That will be most useful. And sorry about the typo.
I found another function in a different discussion that also seems to work,
at least in most cases I have tried. I do not at all understand the
difference between the two.
doppel <- function(x) {eval(parse(text=x))
However, neither one seems to work on the left hand side of a "<-", a "<<-",
or an "=".
Again, my thanks.--andrewH
