Hello Antje,

If I understand "?parse" correctly, you are supposed to pass a valid R
expression to it and 
	"u.g$par1, u.g$par2"
is not as the comma is not a valid delimiter here.
However,

> parse(text="u.g$par1; u.g$par2")
expression(u.g$par1, u.g$par2)

does work (note the semicolon instead of the comma) and 
might be what you want.

Regards,
Marc
