[plt-scheme] setting a var whose name is det'ed at runtime (newb)

Look for namespace-set-variable-value! in the help menu,
PLT MzScheme Language Manual section Namespaces.
Works for top-level variables only.

(((((lambda(x)((((((((x x)x)x)x)x)x)x)x))
    (lambda(x)(lambda(y)(x(x y)))))
   (lambda(x)(x)x))
  (lambda()(printf "Greetings, Jos~n"))))

  (set! (get-name) (car some-list)) 
  returns "set!: not an identifier in: (get-name)".  I
  think this behavior is required by lexical scoping, in
  which case, How do we set a variable whose name is
  dynamically determined?  thanks
