[GEM-dev] Re: [PD-dev] "drip" ing a symbol char by char

[B. Bogart]

Thankes Johannes,

This is great for one direction, but I can't figure out how to reverse 
your patch to build  a symbol out of a sequence of chars. An object to 
append a char to a symbol (not list) seems the easiest..

I'd prefer a patch solution (or existing external) before I try and 
write one!

Thanks
Ben
