	     get(x, envir=NULL, mode="any", inherits=FALSE)
	
	_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:
	
	           x : a variable name (given as a quoted string).
	
	       envir : the environent to be used.
	
	        mode : the type of object sought.
	
	    inherits : should the enclosing frames of the environ-
	               ment 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.
