quick syntax problem

quick syntax problem

[Matt Price]

hi,

i don't quite understand what's wrong with this:
(global-set-key "\C-c\M-0" '(write-abbrev-file "~/.emacs.d/abbrev_defs"))

i have a very difficult time understanding lisp syntactical rules --
what's the most straightforward way evaluate a command with more than
one word in it?  Thanks very much,
Matt

You are not allowed to bind a key sequence to some Lisp statement...

Either create a function with fset and bind this one to your key or  
start your Lisp statement with

	(lambda () (interactive) (...))
