Converting a string to a variable name

Hi all;

Direct to the point...

	I'm writing a program that uses a lot of sequencial variables:

a1, a2, a3...

and give values for then:

a1=1, a2=2, a3=3 ...(for example)


I would like to do this:

atom a1,a2,a3
sequence s
	for x=1 to 3 do

		s=sprintf("%d",x)
		"a"&s=x                           -- atribute a "variable variable" name 
a variable value  :>))

	end for

but this does not work because "a"&s is a string, not a variable.

How I can convert a string to a variable name ???

Thanks
