im trying to name some buffers easily, and i cant name it a number, and i cant name it more than one word, so i want to name it something like "drum1" but when i use set drum $1, it makes the buffer called "drum 1" which only registers as "drum" to the buffer object, so i want to know how to name it "drum1". thanks.

set-drum-1-without-space

tosymbol and sprintf are things to look at. Here are a few of the many possibilities:
