list subselect by name ?
-------------------------

I have this 'list of two elements of named elements.'
> list(letters=letters,
LETTERS=LETTERS)[c("letters","LETTERS")]
$letters
 [1] "a" "b" "c" "d" "e"
"f" "g" "h" "i" "j"
"k" "l" "m" "n" "o"
"p" "q" "r" "s"
[20] "t" "u" "v" "w" "x"
"y" "z"

$LETTERS
 [1] "A" "B" "C" "D" "E"
"F" "G" "H" "I" "J"
"K" "L" "M" "N" "O"
"P" "Q" "R" "S"
[20] "T" "U" "V" "W" "X"
"Y" "Z"
> str( list(letters=letters,
LETTERS=LETTERS)[c("letters","LETTERS")] )
List of 2
 $ letters: chr [1:26] "a" "b" "c" "d"
...
 $ LETTERS: chr [1:26] "A" "B" "C" "D"
...

What code do I need to write in place of  ??????????????????
to return a 'list of one element that is named.'

Wouldn't this just be one of these:

#1
list(letters=letters, LETTERS=LETTERS)["LETTERS"]
#2
list(letters=letters, LETTERS=LETTERS)[2]
#3
mylist <- list(letters=letters, LETTERS=LETTERS)
mylist[ which(names(mylist) == "LETTERS") ]
