In the code below, the version with "set" in line 5 produces (Second First) as a list of contexts. This was what I expected. The version with "setq" produced (First First), which was a surprise. Why is this? thanks a lot, dave_f newLISP v.9.9.2 , Mac OS 10.5.5 Intel (context 'CTX) (context 'MAIN) (s...

OS 10.5.x has a virtual window feature called Spaces. I would like to assign newLISP to a single virtual window that I use for coding, but (as far as I can tell) System Preferences can't add newLISP-GS.app to its list of Spaces-applications. Is there a way to do this? thanks, dave_f system: Intel iM...

First, I made an array of five empty lists. Then I tried to add an element to one of the lists in the array, using push. It didn't work, and I would like to understand why not. Here's the story: > (set 'A-of-L (array 5 '(()) )) (() () () () ()) > (push 'a (A-of-L 2)) a > A-of-L (() () () () ()) > (A...

Good news and bad news. Good: after deleting the file in Receipts, I was able to install 9.2.5 Bad: When I start newLISP, I see the dragonfly-on-cough-drop icon forever, or until I click on it, but the editing/REPL window never appears. I tried restarting my machine, but that didn't help. thanks aga...

I had a problem installing development release 9.2.5 on my Intel iMac running OS 10.4.10. When running the install package a window popped up with the following message: "You cannot continue. There is nothing to install. " I had no problem installing the ppc version of 9.2.5 on my work machine - a d...
