Hello,

I would like to concatenate a colon with a symbol to get another
symbol. The later symbol is used as a parameter to send a message
to an object.

For example,

    (SEND anObject Parm)

when evaluating Parm, it should be something like  :foo where foo
is an entry of the flavor defining the object, anObject.

My problem is how can I assign character : and characters foo 
to variable Parm to form :foo ?

Your help is greatly appreciated.
