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 _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
