I have a program which is being feed a formula.  One of the terms in 
the formula is going to be r(variablename).  r just returns the 
original variable.

r <- function(x) x

The formula is something like 

rglm(y ~ x + r(Subject))

What I want to do is get access to the variable Subject directly.  Can 
anyone give me any suggestions for doing this?

Thanks
Murray Keir
