Bob, Jimmy, Pascal --
Just plain old Do fercrisake.
Omg, I feel like an idiot!
(Happy, o'course)

See, I'll be using the quotes in one string
as the var NAME that this function's output
will be assigned to.  A little cumbersome,
but hey...

Thanks again!
Cheers back!!!
Pete

This question must be too clueless to ask,
but two hours with NuVoc leaves me still
wondering --

I need to write a function invocation with
its numeric x and y each in quotes as TEXT:

          '1+1' FUNCTION '2+2'

I want the function then, after displaying
x and y, to remove their quotes and execute
their innards.

What (a primitive, I assume!) will convert
each quote to an executable expression?

Thanks in advance.
Sorry to test your patience!
Pete
