It depends. How do you obtain the curried F in the above expression? What is (curry (curry cons x) y) supposed to give? What exactly is the paradox? Maybe, it would be helpful if you posted some code that demonstrates what you are trying to do. F'up-To: comp.lang.scheme -- Nils M Holm < n m h @ t 3 x . o r g > www.t3x.org
