Sorry, but it's not clear to me what you mean by "intern and assign a value", and I don't think it will be clear to someone else. Can you be more precise please? I don't understand why you expect "abc3301" to be bound after running (test- intern). That (test-intern) call just creates a symbol, which is interned as a symbol, meaning that creating another (interned) symbol with the same name will reuse the same symbol value. But there is no reason why it shoud be bound to a variable. Symbol interning just applies to symbols as values, it has nothing to do with variables.
