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

[B. Bogart]

Hey all,

Is there an external (or abstraction) that takes a symbol and passes out 
each char one by one in order?

eg: hello -> h - e - l -  l -  o

I also need to do the opposite, take h - e - l - l - o and create the 
symbol "hello" out of it.

The latter is more important!

Just like "drip" but for symbols not lists..

Why? I wanted to use gemkeyname to allow the user to interactivly type 
something on screen.

Thanks
Ben
