Yes. '<' and '>' are comparison functions just like '=' and '>='. They compare numbers (their numeric values), symbols (their names) and (recursively) cells and lists. '==' and 'n==' are of a differend category, as they only look at the pointer, checking for identity. So "abc" is less than "abd", and also less than 'abd' (internal symbol). ♪♫ Alex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
