store a symbol, how to ?

Hello

I wonder if there is an object in Max who
store and recall a symbol ?
the question can be stupid but with only a description
of a fonction, the search is less easy than with a name

so if somebody know

thank's

among others, the message box can do this:

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

value or pvar can store symbols, with the benefit of doing it in
multiple locations in the patch.
see also tosymbol and fromsymbol.

using the messagebox is also a good method, like chris posted.

thank you all,

I try to fix some patches(example patch actually) coming from Gem library for Max - originally for Pure data), and apparently some
object like only exist in PD;

so, I reconstitute them(in Max) in order to understand something in those patches

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

Have a look at my St.ools, there is a subset called abhaXions, and in
there is another subset called Pd abhaXions. I made some replacements
for Pd objects as well...

You'll find it on the cycling/share pages...

I would use either [zl reg] or pattr for storing arbitrary types...
