No. This is not Common Lisp! Well, you could use emacs-cl: (load "load-cl") (FORMAT nil "First: ~A ; Second: ~:*~A" 42) --> "First: 42 ; Second: 42" Yep, not only do I have (require 'cl) first thing in my ~/.emacs, but I also have (load "load-cl") next... -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ NOTE: The most fundamental particles in this product are held together by a "gluing" force about which little is currently known and whose adhesive power can therefore not be permanently guaranteed.
