Anyone know if there is a way to convert a string to a symbol-name in
GNU Emacs Lisp?

If some VERY nice soul could mail me a multi-part shar archive of a
recent version of the GNU Emacs Lisp Programmers' Manual (go ahead and
compress it and uuencode it), I would be deeply indebted.  I know its
large, but I understand it may take a while before printed copies are
available.

Thanks.
