The
Command
Line
as
a
String
The
text
that
you
key
into
the
command
line
is
equivalent
to
the
con-
tents
of
a
string
object-that
is,
a
sequence
of
characters.
You
can
programmatically
execute
a
command
line
by
entering
the
text
in
a
string
and
executing
STR-
(string-to-objects).
This
technique
is
useful
for
storing
programs
in
text
form,
which
is
more
compact
than
object
form.
Also,
any
local
names
that
exist
when
STR-
is
executed
will
be
recognized
in
the
command
line.
