The problem is that you pass `hash-set!' the string "foo" as its first argument, while it expects a hash table (as returned by `make-hash-table'). I think there is some confusion: > (define make-dictionary > (lambda (name size) > (lambda () > (define name (make-hash-table size))))) `define' here is an "internal define", i.e., it defines a variable that's local to the lambda where it occurs. Furthermore, `name' is taken literally, it's not substituted by the actual parameter passed to `make-dictionary'. Hope this helps, Ludovic.
