R help - Sep 2011 - access objects

hi,

say I have consecutively numbered objects obj1, obj2, ... in my R workspace.
I want to acces one of them inside a function, with the number given as an
argument.

Where can I find help on how to do that? Somebody must have been trying to do
this before...
Some keywords to start a search are appreciated as well.

Here's an example, I hope it clarifies what I'm trying to do:

obj1 <- 7:9
obj2 <- 6:2
testf <- function(k) plot(? noquote(paste("obj", k,
sep=""))? )
testf(1) # should plot obj1

The get() function should get you where you need.
