That does what's expected... but not exactly what I want. The problem is that setting *print-escape* disables printing the |...|, even when the escapes NEED to be there. In particular, if you don't have "-modern" mode on in CLISP (which gives you full case-sensitivity and the default function names in LOWER case), it won't escape cased characters as it needs to. I should probably document *print-escape* in the tutorial, though; that may be enough for some, and it would stop the obvious question. And while it's possible to create your own "write" routine, I really want to control the "write" used in the REPL. --- David A.
