lm(height ~ ., data=X)
works fine.

However
nnn <- "height" ;  lm(nnn ~ . ,data=X)
fails

How do I write such a formula, which depends on the value of a string variable 
like nnn above?

A typical application might be a program that takes a data frame containing 
only numerical data, and figures out which of the columns can be best predicted 
from all the other columns.
 
Thanks
David
