That paper doesn't explain parameters at all, but its explanation of continuation marks will set you up for reading the Reference's explanation: http://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/eval-model.html?q=parameterize#%28part._parameter-model%29 You might also consider the simpler treatment of continuation marks in sections 3.1 and 3.2 of this paper: http://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1051&context=csse_fac If you don't care about interaction with delimited control, the simpler explanation might satisfy you. _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/users
