The standard readtable isn't writable unless you go out of your way to access the magic standard readtable. So, it's perfectly valid to modify *readtable*. Or are you suggesting that *readtable* should be eq to the magic standard readtable? The same holds for *print-pprint-dispatch*---it's a copy of the standard dispatch table, not eq to it. Ray
