If you are trying to use =E2=80=98seq-empt= y-p=E2=80=99 with the result of =E2=80=98read-number=E2=80=99: that does not work becau= se the result of =E2=80=98read-number=E2=80=99 is a number not a sequence (which a strin= g as returned by =E2=80=98read-from-minibuffer=E2=80=99 is). --=20 Felix Dietrich
