To me time is more like 10:01 something rather than 10. The function definitely returns the list and is handy. (number-sequence 10 20 2) => (10 12 14 16 18 20) You need some formatting here: (interactive "nStart Time: \nnEnd Time: \nnSkip_Time: ") You can test `interactive' before doing it. (defun typh-agenda-tgrd (tstr tend tskp) (interactive "nStart Time: \nnEnd Time: \nnSkip_Time: ") (number-sequence tstr tend tskp))
