TEXT:00,To convert a character string to either an atom or a sequence value, you
TEXT:16,use the value() library routine:
COLOUR:EUPHORIA
TEXT:32,include get.e
TEXT:16,   = value( )
COLOUR:POINTS
TEXT:00,rs         s
COLOUR:STANDARD
TEXT:32,This works the same way as get(), as it returns a two element sequence
TEXT:16,value, the first element being the error code, and the second element,
TEXT:16,if successful, being the actual atom or sequence value equivalent of the
TEXT:16,character string. The only difference is that the source is a sequence
TEXT:16,variable ( ) and the destination is a receiving sequence variable (  ).

TEXT:32,A demo is available showing how three character strings are converted to
TEXT:16,atom and sequence values.
