NAME
     loadname - loads a name onto the name stack

C SPECIFICATION
     void loadname(name)
     short name;

PARAMETERS
     name   expects the name which is to be loaded onto the name stack.

DESCRIPTION
     loadname replaces the top name in the name stack with a new 16-bit
     integer name.  Each time a routine causes a hit in picking or selecting
     mode, the system stores the contents of the name stack in a buffer.  This
     enables the user to quickly identify the part of an image that appears
     near the cursor.
