What Mahamadou tried to achieve is more like this:

myClassName := 'Car'.
myObject := (Smalltalk at: myClassName asSymbol) new.
myObject run

However, this will of course get him into the debugger if there is no class
named 'Car' in the system, so for real life
production code there should be some error checking etc.
