[R] Removing a list of Objects

Hi,
	I have a simple beginner's question on removing a list of
objects. Say I have objects C243.Daily1, C243.Daily2...C243.Daily5 in my
workspace. I'd like to remove these without using rm five times.

So I write. 

> a <- list(paste("C243.Daily",sep="",1:5))

> rm(a)

Obviously this wouldn't work, as it would only remove the object a.

But is there any way I could do this, like on the lines of a UNIX `
(grave-accent)

Something like

Prompt> rm `find . -type f -name "foo"`

TIA and best,
-Tir
