As Dominique said, string->list will take a string to a list of characters.  
But you might also want to have a look at SRFI 13's string-tokenize which will 
take a string to a list of strings based on whitespace.

(string-tokenize "Help make programs run, run, RUN!") =>
  ("Help" "make" "programs" "run," "run," "RUN!")
