Hi guys, I just started using lisp because I have tu understand how does
it works to build an interpreter for CommonLisp to be used with a Game
Engine.

I got a loto of questions that I have to ask to you, but I just started
with the one I think it's the most important: how does quoting works??
What's its functionality? Quoted objects and strings can be used the same?

I need a good explanation, because I din't understand wuoting when I
read lisp documentation.

Any one can give me some useful links about lisp??

tnx a lot, bye
