When looking at the function dqAppend found in the btscan2.boot file (given 
below)

dqAppend(x,y)==
    if null x
    then y
    else if null y
         then x
         else
              RPLACD (CDR x,CAR y)
              RPLACD (x,    CDR y)
              x
what is the purpose of the line 

RPLACD(CDR x,CAR y)

This appears to be entirely superfluous to the function. Is this correct? I 
have tried  these two lines in the interface on 
https://rextester.com/l/common_lisp_online_compiler with the following code 

(setq l1 (list 'a 'b 'c 'd 'e))
(print l1)
(setq l2 (list 'k 'l 'm 'n 'o))
(print l2)
(rplacd (cdr l2) (car l1))
(print l2)
(rplacd l2 (cdr l1))
(print l2)

and I get the results 

(A B C D E) 
(K L M N O) 
(K L . A) 
(K B C D E) 

Is this the expected results or is something else actually expected?

greetings
