Dear CSCI-316 Students,

After you have completed the exercises in the
Preliminary-Lisp-Exercises document, you should
start to do the reading and exercises specified 
in items (1)-(4) below. Note that 1b, 2b, 2d, 3a, 
and 3d refer to parts of Lisp Assignment 1 (which 
is posted in the Assignments section on 
Brightspace), and that 1a and 1b should be done 
before we meet for our 6th class on Wednesday of 
next week (9/17).

See you in class on Monday.

*Although the calls of APPEND in 6.3 have only 2  
arguments, APPEND accepts any number of
arguments! For example,                       
    (append '(1 2 3) '(5 6) '(7 8 9 10) '(11))                   
       returns (1 2 3 5 6 7 8 9 10 11). 
                           
The function SDRAW that is mentioned at the end of
sec. 6.4 and the related functions SDRAW-LOOP and
SCRAWL are described on pp. 186 - 7. These
functions are available to you on mars when you
start Clisp using the cl command.
