To make a long story short, I want this: (equal system-type "gnu/linux") to evaluate to true but instead it evaluates to nil. C-h v system-type indicates its value is "gnu/linux". I've spent a fair amount of time reading the lisp manual which has been very informative, but I still can't get this simple issue sorted out :) One other (less important) question. Why does: (princ system-type) evaluate to "gnu/linuxgnu/linux" rather than just "gnu/linux"? Thanks in advance for any replies. -exits __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
