This is how I did it where the argument to the canned/passed in function is supplied as a symbol... (de x2 (Num) (setq Res (* Num 2))) (de fnfn (Canned_fn) #(setq X (car (cdr Canned_fn))) ((car Canned_fn) (eval X))) #replaced by single stage... ((car Canned_fn) (eval (car (cdr Canned_fn)))

executing a function + argument passed in as an argument to another function

I seem to be able to do this by (de some_fn (Canned_fn_and_arg.. and then executing the Canned_fn_and_arg inside some_fn by doing ((car Canned_fn) (car (cdr Canned_fn))) Is this the right way or is there a slicker one?

Hi, In the docs there are lots of occurrences (2325) of “”, and also some (751, mainly within doc/form/) of “”. I haven’t checked which one is the most correct. However, in doc/form/refC.html, line 82, there’s a bad mix: +Chg I suspect there may be more of this mixed kind, but I don’t have ti
