\, you can create symbols without spaces:;

#X text 9 85 There are many different ways of constructing symbols
from various parts. You can turn lists into symbols by replacing the
spaces with other characters or you can use objects with "format strings"
that allow you to create symbols with more flexibility;

#X text 9 40 Many times you need to dynamically create different symbols.
For example \, if you are working with many files \, you might want
to name them with a sequential number.;
