personally i do not use zexy's [makesymbol] (which would normally just be a question of taste, but - hey - i have written it...) i prefer [makefilename] for simple things, and [list2symbol] (zexy).
btw. i have just updated the CVS of zexy, to make the separator of [list2symbol] user definable. The second inlet eats a symbol, which is used for combining strings. by default it is a space ' '. But you can set it to whatever you want, even to *nothing* (just send it an empty symbol)
please someone (Juvu ? does framestein still depends on list2symbol ?) test it under windows.
