[...] the interesting thing about lisp and scheme is the ambiguity between=20 instructions and data. any structured data stored in so called s-expression= s=20 can be executed as code provided that list head symbols are defined as macr= os=20 or functions, on the other hand stored functions can be manipulated like da= ta. > I have no experience with lisp or prolog.

Sorry. afaik scheme is basically a slimmed down, cleaned up lisp. > Perhaps not lisp, but scheme tends to be organized around predicate synta= x > and brackets to define things that are more than one word. not necessarily, but again if your list head symbols are defined as=20 predicates (or functions returning a boolean value) it would be like you sa= y. - --=20 Wolfe's law of journalism: You cannot hope/to bribe or twist,/thank God ! the/British journalist.
