Subject: How do I really do this?
Date: Wed, 03 Mar 2004 15:52:15 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <40466FAF.3A286BB0@veritas.com> (raw)


I would like to be able to associate a value with a string.
hash functions look perfect, except I can't use them unless
I have a hash table and there isn't any clear way I've found
to create hash table entries without having a hash table.
I've tried:

  (define (string->symbol (function-returning-string))
          (value-function))

I thought that to be really obvious, but I was wrong.
If either of these mecanisms are documented somewhere,
I'd gladly read it.  Meanwhile, can someone send me a hint?
Thank you. - Bruce
