We've already moved the OP once. I am happy to have further discussion of his problem stay here on the ASSEMBLER-LIST, but I am not yet clear what exactly that problem is.
He now presumably knows how to construct "compound' set-symbol identifiers, as in |&atomic0 setc 'H2' |&atomic1 setc 'O' |&compound setc '&atomic0'.'&atomic1' What did/does he want to do with these admittedly wondrous things? John Gilmore, Ashland, MA 01721 - USA
