Here's a basic elisp question:
I want to use the value of a variable within a list, rather than the
name of the variable. How do I do this? Here's the code in question.
(setq gnus-select-method
'(nntp "news_server"))
I want to replace the hard-coded "news_server" with the value of a
variable I've defined called my_news_server defined with
(setq my_news_server "news_server")
I apologize for the basic nature of the quesiton, but I've not been
able to find an answer in the elisp manual.
- Chris
