You could though. nil is a variable that just evaluates to the symbol 'nil (eq 'nil nil) the same goes for t. I personally don't feel confused by a symbol, a string and a variable, but because someone is going to say it, I'll do it: Make a suggestion on how to improve the documentation. But beware: The completely documentation uses the `foo' syntax for functions and symbols. br, benny
