This has nothing to do with the values. We are talking here about comparing *symbols*. If you pass the symbol's *values* to '>' instead of the symbols themselves, you are doing the wrong test. : (setq "abc" 2 "abd" 1) -> 1 : (> "abd" "abc") # Wrong! -> NIL : (> '"abd" '"abc") # Correct -> T : (> '"abd" 'abc) -> T ♪♫ Alex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:[email protected]?subject=Unsubscribe
