Simple question on eval

Thank you so much Joshua.  That's exactly what I am looking for.

What I wanted to do is to pass a parameter to a function and I have to run
the functions 30 times.  Instead of typing them all out, I created a long
string of "f(a);f(b);f(c) ..." using paste() and use eval and parse to
evaluative them all at once.  I am sure there are better ways of doing it
but I just know this.
