Hmm ... they come along as a 'free' property list in Emacs Lisp (not bound to a symbol) #+begin_src emacs-lisp (:key1 val1 :key2 val2 ... :keyN valN) #+end_src and will end up as a PicoLisp property list bound to a symbol (hopefully ;) #+begin_src picolisp ((val1 . :key1) (val2 . :key2) ... (valN . :keyN)) #+end_src So several symbols can have the same keys or even the same key/val pairs in their property lists. Actually I want to use the whole plist to create an object in one step with 'putl' as described in an earlier post, so there should be no conflicts (?) ... but I'm not yet there, so I can't tell how it works out. -- cheers, Thorsten -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
