1. Why in the last line the comipler insists on  "()" ?

2. Is this natural that the first line of
                                       ("ab" :: Symbol) :: SExpression
   is not compiled?

3. As there are `coerce' and `::',  why does Spad need `convert' ?

4. I define  coerce(s : String) : SExpression ==
                                  convert(s :: Symbol) $SExpression
   and use  "ab" :: SExpression.
   Is this a good way out?

3. Sometimes  `g :: OutputForm'  does not work in Spad, while
                                 coerce(g) :: OutputForm   does work.
   What is the difference?

Thanks,
