object names from character strings

I realize this is probably pretty basic but I can't figure it out.

I'm looping through an array, doing various calculations and  
producing a resulting data frame in each loop iteration.  I need to  
give each data frame a different name.  Although I can easily create  
a new character string for writing each frame to an output file, I  
cannot figure out how to convert such strings to corresponding  
object names within the R workspace itself, so as to give each d.f.  
a distinct name.  The closest I got were various attempts with the  
as.name function, but couldn't get that to work either.  Any help  
appreciated.  Thanks.
