> Is there a function to convert character strings to object references.  For

> "c"), the types of data might have names like c("pass.trp", "trk.trp",
> "cmute.trp"), and I want to assign data to the objects a.pass.trp,
> b.pass.trp, c.pass.trp, a.trk.trp, etc.  I'd like to be able to paste the
> names together and then use them as an object references.
