symbol("s01.mp3") vs. symbol("01.mp3")

[Slava Paperno]

Friends,

I use symbol(MyFilename) as a property in a list.

MyFilename is a string that contains the filename extension, e.g. "01.mp3"

The problem is that some mp3 files I'm using begin with a letter while 
others begin with a digit. The results are very different:

put symbol("01.mp3")
--#01.mp3
put symbol("s01.mp3")
--#s01
The filename extension is chopped off.

Is there a way I can obtain consistent results no matter what the first 
character of the filename is? I do need to keep the filename extension in 
the symbol variable.

Thanks for any tips!
