The <em>mkid</em> command constructs an identifier, given a stem and an identifi
er 
or an integer.

<em>mkid</em>(&lt;stem&gt;,&lt;leaf&gt;)

<P>
&lt;stem&gt; can be any valid REDUCE identifier that does not include escaped 
special characters. &lt;leaf&gt; may be an integer, including one given by a 
local variable in a 
<A HREF=r37_0047.html>for</A> loop, or any other legal group of

</TT></PRE><P>You can use <em>mkid</em> to construct identifiers from inside pro
cedures. This 
allows you to handle an unknown number of factors, or deal with variable 
amounts of data. It is particularly helpful to attach identifiers to the 
answers returned by <em>factorize</em> and <em>solve</em>.
