Re: How to start programming in LISP

Does it not simply mean that the file was closed successfully? (let form evaluates to its last subform, which is (close in), so that returns T (I presume is the emacs lisp equivalent of #t in Common Lisp, i.e. true)... right?) You're thinking of Scheme. T is true in Common Lisp (and I assume it's t...

It's probably fine for your purposes, but if it seems slower than it should be, consider either not using a list or storing the list leng...
