Dear all,

I have noticed that the expression 'list =' is sometimes used to tell R to
evaluate something before executing it.

Two examples:

rm(list=ls())

a = 3
myVarName = 'a'
save(list=myVarName, file=...)


I was wondering whether there is any documentation on this way of using
"list". Which is a clearly different use than what ?list talks about, as
the latter addresses the use of 'list' as a datastructure.

Thanks for your help,

Adi
