hiall

btw, I sent a message almost identical to this one from my home account last
night, and it isn't here. Is it because the list doesn't rec that other account?

anyway...

I've got a function called logo-factory that accepts a string argument, and
should return an object referenced by a word = the passed string. ie., if I type

        *logo-factory Logo1*

I should get the same result as if I typed

        *Logo1: make object! [....]*

I'm befuddled as to how to do this exactly -- I'm sure the answer is right under
my nose ;-)

Here's sort of what I have so far:

*
logo-factory: func [
    "Creates and returns a named logo object."
    name [string!] "The name of the object to be created."
][
    ????? make object! [
        type: "text"
        text: ""
        pict: #{}
        file: ""
        altt: ""
        switch-type: func [
            "Toggles the logo object's type between 'text' and 'pict'."
        ][
            type: either type = "text" ["pict"]["text"]
        ]
    ]
]
*

Obviously, there's a lot missing here, like handling an argument string which
can't be used as a valid word, etc. Other functions like get-pict and
write-html, etc., also need to be added.

Any and all suggestions are welcome!
