R help - Sep 2003 - attributing names in predicted type="terms" gam object

Hi,
suppose i have a gam object
 
gamobject<- gam( Y~ s(X1)+s(X2)+ X3)
 
I would like to extract the predicted partial effect of X3 but selecting
it by its name, as it's to be included in a function and i don't always
know the exact position of X3.
 
something like predict(gamobject,type="terms")["X3",]. But
that doesn't
work as there's no name.
 
So, looking at the object i get when using predict(gamobject,
type="terms"), i would like to name the rows of that object that
reflect
the original formula, something close to the output from predict.gam in
S-plus.
 
Any ideas?
 
thanks
