SimSet console methods

Hi, I am trying to use SimSet in torquescript. :
%a=new SimSet();// it's fine
%a.listObjects();// (0): unable to find object: '' attempting to call function 'listObjects'
it's unable to find any of the console methods I see in simbase.cc;
I looked in simebae.cc I find for example:
ConsoleMethod(SimSet, listObjects, void, 2, 2, "set.listObjects();")
{
argc; argv;

object->lock();
SimSet::iterator itr;
for(itr = object->begin(); itr != object->end(); itr++)
{
SimObject *obj = *itr;
bool isSet = dynamic_cast(obj) != 0;
const char *name = obj->getName();
if(name)
Con::printf(" %d,\"%s\": %s %s", obj->getId(), name,
obj->getClassName(), isSet ? "(g)":"");
else
Con::printf(" %d: %s %s", obj->getId(), obj->getClassName(),
isSet ? "(g)" : "");
}
object->unlock();
}

what am I missing?
thanks

Are you doing this from the console?

Yes, I realized that I can do it from a file but not from console. Why?
thanks

Can you use % variables from the console? Does it work with:
$a=new SimSet();
$a.listObjects();

Yes $a global variable is fine, not %. why?

Every line that you type into the console is it's own scope, and since % variables are only valid for a single scope, they are out of scope on the second line you type in.
