 Most annoying bug ever. The Web Server embeds strings like (k . (1 2

 get back an assoc list and find the k binding. The teaching
 languages don't support reading in non-list conses, so this failed in
 a mysterious way. I had to enable reading of dots in the server when
 invoked from the teaching langs.

We can change things so that the configuration of 'read' happens based
on its lexical context and not dynamically for the #lang
lang/htdp-beginner version of the teaching languages, I think...?

That would work too but I did work around it and I think cycles might
be better spent elsewhere. Thanks for the offer tho.
