It's only cryptic for you because you are not yet used to LISP and its concepts. This is no critic; the working of nadvice is just hardly understandable for someone not knowing yet how `let' works. This is also no critic. We have all started from the beginning, and I respect that you start hacking with a quite ambitious project. Once you are having fun using higher order functions and such stuff, you'll see that it makes some sense. Michael.
