#As part of this he had:

 d_string:="D*e*v*o*u*r*e*r":

#eta:=symb(217):

print(cat(`Does `,d_string,` = `));

eta;
#Is it possible to put the eta symbol on the same line?

#   Yes,  …but without the comma??  And…
 printf("Does %s = %a\n",d_string, eta);

#  does not give the Greek letter eta, but just eta,  while

eta;

print(eta);
#...both give the Greek letter

#  Is it possible to use printf (or similar?) to obtain output 

#  of:  Does D*e*v*o*u*r*e*r = h  

#  Oops!  In Word the h was a Greek letter eta!

#  ...and lastly, can it be done in Maple 7?
