Re: Scheme 101

    is there a way to use a string as a function name?  i also tried
    string->symbol, eval and operator ":" i'm pretty sure it is
    possible.  it would be very usefull when ef-str is read from user
    input for e.g

Hmm, the following works for me in Guile 1.5.2:

  (define (f x y) (+ x y))
  (define ef-str "f")
  ((eval (string->symbol ef-str) (interaction-environment)) 1 2)

What do you get?
