Thank you. The following works nicely.

However, I was hoping that there was a way to input the 'form' object
so that summary(x) would print the underlying formula used, not the
formula object name. I was thinking of something in the style of
x <- lm(deparse(form), anscombe)
summary(x)

Can this be done? Regards
