Simply - Name() is what you're looking for.

Also if you are grouping stocks into baskets, you can either
(a) use strings:
basket1 = "C,AAPL,CSCO";
basket2 = "T,XYZ..";
then use - strfind(basket1, name())... to determine which basket the
stock is in.

(b) or dont' use Name() at all, and just reference marketid, groupid,
industryid, from AFL.
