     get(x, pos=-1, envir=pos.to.env(pos), mode="any", inherits=TRUE)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s_:

       x: a variable name (given as a quoted string).

     pos: position in search list, can be numerical or a
          quoted string.

   envir: the environment to be used.

    mode: the type of object sought.

inherits: should the enclosing frames of the environment be
          inspected?

_V_a_l_u_e_:

     This function searches the specified environment for a
     bound variable whose name is given by the string `x'.
     If the variable's value is not of the correct `mode',
     it is ignored.

     If `inherits' is `FALSE', only the first frame of the
     specified environment is inspected.  If `inherits' is
     `TRUE', the search is continued up through the parent
     frames until a bound value of the right mode is found.

     Using a `NULL' environment is equivalent to using the
     current environment.

_S_e_e _A_l_s_o_:

     `exists'.

_E_x_a_m_p_l_e_s_:

     get("%o%")
