Hi Alabhya, I would also suggest starting with miniPicoLisp.- http://software-lab.de/miniPicoLisp.tgz
Check out the docs: http://picolisp.com/wiki/?Documentation Specifically, the reference: http://software-lab.de/doc/ref.html#vm You may need to read it over several times. I've probably read it 10+ times and learn something new after each reading.
