Thanks Red. That was enormously embarrassing. Jim

Hey all, I'm new to parenscript so I hope this is a reasonable question

I think

(parenscript:ps (create :foo "bar" :blorg 1))

should return

{ foo : 'bar', blorg :1}

but it returns

create('foo', 'bar', 'blorg', 1);

which means it is falling through to a regular function.

I was looking at the source and there create is a 'define-ps-special-form' but it's gonna take me a while to figure out what is going on. Any thoughts about what I'm doing wrong?

This was in the last tarball and the latest from git.

Make sure you are using the 'create from the parenscript package:

(ps:ps (ps:create :foo "bar" :blorg 1))

that's my guess,
