Hello everybody, I am fairly new to ST and have been following this list since a few weeks. A very brief introduction of myself: I am a 32 year old student of informatics with a degree in political sciences. Currently i am located in Regensburg, Germany. Most of my previous programming was in python, along with some php and javascript. The issue I could not solve on my own is this: I would like to instantiate from symbols. My use-case is a collection of class names which I want to ask to return one instance each. Such that: #Foo asClass new -> a Foo whereas asClass is the method I am looking for. I am using Pharo 1.3. I did not find any description of what I want to achieve on the internet. Many thanks in advance, Markus
