How do you write "a + 2 * b - c * 4 / q" in lisp? My experience with it is very limited. I had started to study autolisp and got as far as: apply( '1 - '4) 3 At that point I closed the book. If there is a way to maintain the typical order-of-operations (as you see them in algebra) in lisp, tell me what it is and I'll get another book:) --Eric -- "It is a mistake to allow any mechanical object to realize that you are in a hurry." --Ralph's Observation
