- I need some help with a short (I hope) routine. Is there a way to convert
- a string to a name? Using OBJ-> works sometimes, but if there is a
- variable with that name already assigned you get the value of the
- variable, not the name itself.
-
- Example: type "a" OBJ-> you get 'a'
- type 3 'a' STO "a" OBJ-> you get 3
-
- I want to get 'a' every time. Can someone help?
