    Hi Don,

    The stringToSymbol function is a core SKILL function, so it is available in OCEAN.  You could also choose to use concat() for converting a string to a symbol - concat does not complain if you pass it either a string or a symbol, so it may be a little more flexible than stringToSymbol, depending on your usage of the function.

    In your post you mention "window1" - I'm used to seeing window id's like window:5 but perhaps yours is different because it is a waveform window?  However, if you have a window id like window:5 you can use the window function to return such an id, e.g.

    
    window(5)
    => window:5
    

    I hope this helps!
    Best regards,
    Lawrence.
