reading external representation

[Hassoun Karam <hassoun.karam.1@agora.ulaval.ca>]

ihi
i am trying to read external representations of objects (from a disk 
file) and i get this error:
read: bad syntax `#<' at position 8 in ... (name of the disk file). i 
have read the help section on 'read' and external representation but i 
am still missing something.

the expression i am trying to read is : (send #<object:geom%> translate! 
#3(-40 0 1))

tia
