'(48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57) These are code points for ASCII "0" through "9", and are already as simple as possible, in one sense, but not in the "wait six months and re-grok quickly the code" sense. Better to be symbolic (not necessarily w/ Lisp symbols, but rather w/ human-friendly expressions). For example, you can: =2D compress: (number-sequence 48 57) =2D use characters: (number-sequence ?0 ?9) =2D go up a level: (interactive "P") + SMOP =2D-=20 Thien-Thi Nguyen GPG key: 4C807502 (if you're human and you know it) read my lisp: (responsep (questions 'technical) (not (via 'mailing-list))) =3D> nil --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlN0dPUACgkQZwMiJEyAdQL4NQCggfuas0q5WblhjjIEiwEqeGEF wUMAnRcn3MnubPd8oJ4rnxdNkrVdXGg3 =+W7X -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
