Hi Elan, that's right and you now can use two different words to
get the same value. But these words are different and what I
would like to do is to have a way to programmatically access the
literal represnetation of a word without writing the word. I now
it sounds a bit strange but the following would be usefult:
self/name = literal representation of the word used for the
object representing self.

I see one problem here. I give some more code to show:
obj1: make myObject!
[
Create: func[] [...]
Print: func[] [...]
]
Now, how and when do I execute the append statement above? Can I
write:
obj1: append all-my-objects self make myObject!
The problem I have is that there is no code executed when
instantiating obj1: only, the make statement...
