Hi Thorsten, I have to try fill, and think more about the whole issue, but the last version with @X looks pretty close to what I'm looking for. Ah, yes, didn't think about that when I wrote the last mail. This is also a possibility: (de g Lst (fill Lst) ) (setq @Temp 33) (g

Hi Rick, thanks for the ideas :) However, as Mike Pechkin wrote, I do also believe that such a construct is rather useless. The examples are too simple. They can be easily rewritten as: (if-let X 13 (- X 1) 0) #- 12 (if 13 (dec @) 0) (if-let X 13 (- X 1)) #- 12 # you can leave
