There will be an ajSeqNumS function in the next release that has a 
string as the first argument.

There will also be an ajSeqNewStr function, for uses like this, but you 
may want to set other properties (name, accession, description) if you 
need the sequence so the method I posted earlier may be the simplest to 
use (so you can add more ajSeqAss calls).

Hope this helps,
