Dear ALL,

I need a function that takes character string as argument value and replaces 
corresponding argument( which is behind dollar sign "$") in function body with 
its value.  
  
For example:    

function(dataframe, argument="ANYTHING I WANT")
{   
       return(dataframe$argument)   
 }    

Even though I know there must be lots of possible alternative ways to do this, 
I really want to do the job just like the form in the above example and which I 
believe that has a close connection with "Programming on language" style(I read 
the term on some guides but really got no clue whether I refer to it here in a 
right way). 
Anyone who happens to know the method or the mechanism please kindly let me 
know. Thank you very much, and please reply in very simple English, because i 
am a poor English user.    

Thanks again,    
Xie YM
