   Ok... I think I see what you are trying to do.  However,
you should know that lists CAN be used as keys to a hash
table, but just not by default.  You need to tell the hash
table to use a different equality function.

   Try this:

(setf *ht1* (make-hash-table :test 'equal))
(setf (gethash '(1) *ht1*) 'one)
(gethash '(1) *ht1*)

PS: If you will be putting lots of entries in, use ":size" to
    provide a hint as to the final size.
