Assuming you've already gotten the pieces ("DW" and "$SKB") as strings on the stack, the following would create the global name I think you are referring to:

Code:

  +                     @ concatenates "DW" and "$SKB"
  "'" SWAP OVER + +     @ encapsulates within single quotes
  STR→                  @ converts the resulting string to global name

This will leave the global name 'DW$SKB' on the stack. If you want to execute DW$SKB instead of leaving its ID on the stack, just omit the second line in the code above (the one commented as "encapsulates within single quotes").
