Hi Corey,

The function READ-SYNTAX, coupled with making a string look like a port 
through the OPEN-INPUT-STRING function, should do the trick.  Take a look 
at READ-SYNTAX in the help desk first, because it needs to take an extra 
argument, compared to regular READ.

Ack!  I didn't mean for things to get this perverse.
