There are at least two possibilities. The specialised one is to look at
the help for save() and notice that you can specify a vector of names of
objects with the list= argument
save(list=x,file=nnam)
The more general one is to use substitute() or do.call(). For example
do.call("save",list(as.name(x),file=nnam))
