[jim holtman]

Try this:

> input <- textConnection("var1 a
+ var2 b
+ var3 c
+ var4 d
+ var5 e")
> x <- read.table(input, as.is = TRUE)
> close(input)
> # create a list
> xList <- as.list(x$V2)
> names(xList) <- x$V1
> xList
$var1
[1] "a"

$var2
[1] "b"

$var3
[1] "c"

$var4
[1] "d"

$var5
[1] "e"
