Having searched through the manuals etc, I find myself stuck over a
"dataframe" access/management problem
My question is...
I would like to have a dataframe

> df.names
 Name ID 
 df1     1
 df2     2
 df3     3
 df4     1
..
..
..
 df50   2
>
where df1,...,df50 are names of dataframes.

Does anyone know of an approach that would allow me for example to access
dataframes with ID==1,
so that it would in the above snippet, bring up df1 and df2.

Ideally I do not want to merge dataframes together, this is why I would like
to see if a solution to the above is viable.

Thanks in advance.
Gary
