There is an internal routine that will convert any string to an id
(aka global name).  \<< #05B15h SYSEVAL \>> will do it.  The following
ASC encoded program will do a typecheck first, then call 5b15 if the
argument is a string:

---start---
%%HP: T(3)A(R)F(.);
"D9D20ECE81D004051B50B2130327A"
----end----

Use ASC\-> & then store in 'S\->N'.

As for using usrlang exclusively, \<< "'" SWAP + STR\-> \>>, as Bruce
posted, is the only way (I can think of).
