I am stuck on one of those symbol/variable-name-in-a-string things again: (define mything "display") (display (eval-string mything))
that's fine. But can I test that the string in mything is the name of a variable before doing the eval-string and finding out the hard way? I've been doing (symbol? mything) etc, and going witless. Do I have to do all that catch stuff? The situation is that I can guess (programmatically construct that is) the name of the variable, but it may not be defined. If it isn't I will just say so, but if it is I want the string it is defined to hold. Any help much appreciated! Richard Shann
