May we have a fast scanf-style reader to parse input in the next release? Something the opposite of format, perhaps?
Feature request: scanf

I did. Thank you again. I can't believe I missed that in the manual! :-)
Thank you for creating and sharing newLISP too!
It is what I have been looking for. The first LISP that I began to feel comfortable with (after much pain) was Emacs Lisp. But newLISP is now my favorite.
