While I call 'xgp-casi2-safe-call-iter' with (xgp-casi2-safe-call-iter '+ ((1 2 a) (3 4))) (car largs) is (1 2 a), which it's not a list when evaluating (apply '+ (1 2 a)) (I've modified xgp-casi2-safe-call but it's not accessible now. I'll post it when it's accessible.) Regards, Guanpeng Xu _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
