Basically I have a menu containing names of different classes and I want to create an instance of the class that is selected. I've tried the following: ... (setq an-object (oneof (find-symbol a-menu-item-title))) ... but it doesn't work. If someone knows what I'm talking about, please help. +-------------------------+--------------------------------+------------------+ | Sven Axelsson | d83_sven_a@tekno.chalmers.se | DISCLAIMER: | | dep:t of Linguistics | (^^ best ^^) | | | univ. of Gothenburg | dlv_sa@hum.gu.se | This is not | | SWEDEN | usdsa@seguc21.bitnet | a disclaimer. | +-------------------------+--------------------------------+------------------+
