[R] cant find "get"?

[Strumila, John]

howdy gurus,

I was wondering if someone could help me with what looks like a simple
problem.

I found this great function called "get" which allows me to work out my
object name at run time.  Unfortunately it's not letting me assign values
with it.  What am I doing wrong?

thanks,
John Strumila
