Even with the CAPITAL LETTERS and the TRIPLE EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!, I still have no idea what you're trying to accomplish. Perhaps you would be helped by evaluating both of these in emacs: (pp (list 1 2)) (pp (cons 1 2)) or perhaps: (pp (list (list 1 2) (list 3 4))) (pp (list (cons 1 2) (cons 3 4) (cons 5 6))) I say `perhaps', because I don't really know what you're trying to accomplish. I hope that helps, *Chad
