I | would question why you'd expect them to teach more about CL. I made no comments to that effect. Why do you think I expect that? I don't _compare_ the two languages -- I'm simply pointing out serious flaws in Scheme and how it is taught and used. Since we don't have any data on how CL would be taught if it were where Scheme is, I fail to see how I could be thought to _expect_ any improvements just by changing the language being taught. #:Erik -- Does anyone remember where I parked Air Force One? -- George W.
