You can try this:

That's an interesting set of goals:
"Package to mask common functions so that inputs in error are
explained and able to be corrected, prior to execution. 'assist'
offers step-by-step assistance to correctly call a function such as
'par'. 'eg' picks out Examples first and foremost in help. With
'deskcheck', execution is initiated and the 'debug' flag utilized, to
help deskcheck a function.
plot(eval.string(toplot))
Can't say as I learned very much about R by reading the code for
eval.string, but the idea of having a learning-mode for R that would
clue in the newbs among us when we committed common errors, rather
than wrapping things up in a GUI, has a certain intriguing aspect to
it. Is there a literature regarding how well such a strategy plays out
in practice?

A general problem i run into, i know there must be a simple solution.
I like to create a variable by appending a 1 for example, (i need to
loop later on from 1 to X, thus the reason for this). So i assign
the
variable vplot with this value, however it has quotes and when i
use it
in a barplot, it throws an error. but the tcenter$X1 does exist,
its an
element of a data frame. So if i type directly it works, but i
like to
do this programmatically, as i have to generate a bunch of these
plots
and need to loop.
So how do i concatenate to create a variable, then reference that
variable in a function call?
R> x<- data.frame(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8)
R> x
X1 X2 X3 X4 X5 X6 X7 X8
1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
R> x$X1
[1] 1
R> i=1
R> toplot<- paste("x$X",i,sep="")
R> toplot
[1] "x$X1"
okay lets test:
R> plot(x$X1)
-it works i see the plot
however this DOES not work
R> plot(toplot)
Error in plot.window(...) : need finite 'ylim' values
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In xy.coords(x, y, xlabel, ylabel, log) : NAs introduced by
coercion
2: In min(x) : no non-missing arguments to min; returning Inf
3: In max(x) : no non-missing arguments to max; returning -Inf
Thus, that's my problem, i know it must be simple - the variable
is equal to x$X1 but it does not work in a function call? i tried
many functions - always some type of error.
