I find it difficult to understand your above description. I got the idea that you wish to name alists such as assoc-table-1, assoc-table-2 and that you put those symbols in a new list. ;; (dolist (aggr (list (mapcar #'construct-assoc-table ;; (number-sequence 1 8)))) ;; (setq rplc (cdr (assoc word aggr))) ;; (unless (null rplc) ;; (add-to-list 'nscrip ;; (replace-regexp-in-string word rplc word)))) I cannot understand the above. Do this: {C-h f add-to-list RET} and find quote there: "This is handy to add some elements to configuration variables, but please do not abuse it in Elisp code, where you are usually better off using ‘push’ or ‘cl-pushnew’." -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
