If you quote a left paren, that means the following is
read as it is, as data, or a *list* (with only one
'(element) in you case, but nonetheless a list).
Try evaluating the expressions below. If you understand
how that works, you are halfway into Lisp. But of
course, the final 5% will require more work than the
first 50%...
'(+ 1 2) ; list: (+ 1 2)
(+ 1 2) ; procedure and arguments : 3

That's another good point, if you try to get something
to work, isolate it from everything else. This
particular case (achicago) I would never have guessed,
but that method is general, so you don't have to.
