I have a suggestion for CL-WHO. Currently, you can't just replace str with esc in your code, because while str does a princ, esc expects a string. I have code that passes numbers to str and wanted to do a wholesale replacement. The manual says: str: Forms that look like (str form1 form*) will be substituted with (let ((result form1)) (when result (princ result s))) esc: Forms that look like (esc form1 form*) will be substituted with (let ((result form1)) (when result (write-string (escape-string result s)))). I would suggest improving esc by performing a princ if the first argument is not a string. --J.
