   I am trying to get the format procedure to behave like the display procedure
   where it will not surround output to stdout with quotes

   Is there a trick do accomplish this?

Probably the best trick is to explain clearly what you wish to see,
what you do see, and the undesirable difference between them.

Here is a template:

| I'd like to see:    (format X Y) => COOL
| but instead i see:  (format X Y) => NOPE
|
| I think NOPE is close but it is not COOL because MISUNDERSTANDING.

Good luck!
