Subject: extracting a element with a name attribute from a list

Hi R users

I like to extract (or collect) a numeric element with a name  from a list.

Is there any way to extract just a numeric element without the name attached 
to the element.

For example,

>mylist

        Mantel-Haenszel chi-squared test with continuity correction

data:  table(mydata[, x])
Mantel-Haenszel X-squared = 8.3832, df = 1, p-value = 0.003787
alternative hypothesis: true common odds ratio is not equal to 1
95 percent confidence interval:
0.2596963 0.7647255
sample estimates:
common odds ratio
        0.4456415

>is.list(mylist)
[1] TRUE
>names(mylist)
[1] "statistic"   "parameter"   "p.value"     "conf.int"    "estimate"    
"null.value"  "alternative"
[8] "method"      "data.name"
>mylist$estimate
common odds ratio
        0.4456415

I like to extract only a numeric element ( 0.4456415 ) without the name 
(common odds ratio).

How can I do that ?

Thanks
