A bit embarrassed to post this seemingly trivial question, but I can't find anything in the archive that's quite relevant:

a1=1
a2=2

obs=objects(pattern=glob2rx("a?"))

I want to utilize 'obs' as a function argument to produce something like:

sum(a1,a2)

Obviously, sum(obs) doesn't work, but I've tried variations of 'eval', 'parse', 'mget', and 'noquote' without success. What am I missing?

Thanks,
Kevin
