It's more legible. Code in tutorials and code printed by Lisp printer has uppercase symbols. It's more natural for me to write lowercase but I found a convention to write symbols that come from Common Lisp (i.e. not defined by me) in uppercase. It seems to be logical but OTOH I'm a Lisp newbie; I just try to follow conventions. If it's acceptable to use lowercase I'll use it, maybe after some googling on conventions used by people. :) Thanks for the tip. -- __ Maciek Pasternacki [ http://japhy.fnord.org/ ] `| _ |_\ / { ...don't just call me pessimist, try and read between the ,|{-}|}| }\/ lines, I can't imagine why you wouldn't welcome any change my \/ |____/ friend, I wanna see it all come down... } ( M.
