   pp-to-string is suppost to pretty print nested lists, however
   when I start Emacs I always get this output truncated with ...

Substitution w/ "..." is called "abbreviation", not "truncation",
and is controlled by `print-level' and `print-length', not just
for `pp-to-string', but for the primitive output funcs it uses,
e.g., `prin1'.  Other print-foo vars control other aspects.
