Hi,
Is there any quick and easy way to rename a number of objects, without
having to rename each one individually and then remove the old one? And
if so, is there anything I can do to adjust the associated comments
accordingly?
Thanks for any help,

I think it depends on what you are renaming?

Those alter the dimnames of objects that have them, not the names of the
objects themselves.
I think a short answer to the question is no. There is a
Thank you all for your enlightening replies.
Hadley mentioned first that a mere assignment in R does not double storage.
Hence once solution is:
y - x
rm(x)
Gabor gave a deeper solution which permits assigning a second name:
makeActive Binding(y,function() x, .GlobalEnv)
The reason for my
You might be able to just read in that single column rather than
read the file in chunks by using colClasses arg of read.table
with NULL for all columns except the one you want.
The sqldf package is another way -- see example 6 on the home
page. You specify what you want using SQL:

#For example:

obj.rename(x,y)
There are numerous examples of renaming

This does not really answer your question but the following
lets you refer to an object by a second name although the object
still has its original name as well.
a - 3
makeActiveBinding(b, function() a, .GlobalEnv)
NULL
b
[1] 3
a - 4
b
[1] 4

or, in other terms:
set.seed(1)
x - runif(1e7)
x.add - tracemem(x)
y - x
y.add - tracemem(y)
identical(x.add, y.add)
[1] TRUE
ie, both objects have the same memory address - therefore, not a copy:
x.add
[1] 0x200
y.add
[1] 0x200
now, observe what happens when you modify y
