I > need names of functions dynamically generated. I think you can use `defalias', a simple function. That would require to use lexical binding so that variables like `prompt' can get captured in a closure. That would look like this: #+begin_src emacs-lisp ;;;; Your first file line -*- lexical-binding: t -*- ;; [...] (defun hyperscope-generate-the-add-function-by-hyperdocument-type (type-name id function-name) (defalias function-name (lambda () (interactive) (let* ((parent (hyperscope-select-set)) (prompt (format "New `%s' hyperdocument name: " type-name)) (name (read-from-minibuffer prompt))) (hlink-add-generic name "" id parent nil))) ;; Docstring gets an argument of `defalias': (format "Add new `%s' hyperdocument to Hyperscope." type-name))) #+end_src Michael.
