Doing fine sort of skunk (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

atok

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sort of skunk' is the definition.
'atok' can be an answer for 'skunk' (I've seen this before). I am unsure of the 'sort of' bit.

'doing fine' is the wordplay.
'doing' becomes 'at' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'fine' becomes 'ok' ('OK' can be a synonym of 'fine').
'at'+'ok'='ATOK'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for atok that I've seen before include "Skunk" , "might raise a stink" , "Fur-coated creature" , "what gives off whiff" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
