[GAP Forum] function help

[Tom Murphy]

I'm trying to write a function which will print out values of the KnownProperties of my USER variables. I can list the Known Properties easily enough, BUT, when I attempt to construct a string for EvalString; I get into trouble.. Gap wants to resolve the function rather than use it.. If that makes sense.  Anyway, I could probably make things work if I knew how to write a function that just returns it's name as a string. 

The code below is the last of many trials that almost but DID NOT work. Any help appreciated..

uu:="abc";

dkpp:=function(obj)
local cr,lo,elo,nlo,kpl, i, kpv;
cr:="\n";

kpl:=KnownPropertiesOfObject(obj);

for i in [1 ..  Size(kpl)]
do;
 lo:=kpl[i];
#elo:=(Concatenation(lo,(obj)));
elo:=lo;
Print(obj);
Print(elo);
elo(obj);

Print(EvalString(elo),cr);
od;

end;

dkpp(uu);
dkpp(1);
