You know something of Lisp and (more) of C. Then why do say one aspect of Lisp -- the quote system -- is confusing, when a) both Common Lisp and C have published standards, and b) the HyperSpec (the Common Lisp standard in all but name) is available to read and learn from? If you are having some trouble with it, the fine people in comp.lang.lisp can surely help. -- Udyant Wig
