It was a perfect day, if too short.

| I think there is misunderstanding between us. I am not a pedagog.

No; it is I who pretend to be.

| In fact , I have confessed that I am new to lisp.

Absolutely. That is clear. What I meant to say is that if I cannot
explain this in a way to make you understand, maybe someone else can.
The trick. from a pedagogical point of view, is to understand the
exact nature of your misunderstanding. Without this, an explanation
is only so many words that do not produce enlightenment.

| I believe that you are right that the arguments should be evaluated
| before the calling of the function,

Not "should be". "Are". It is how Common Lisp works.

Anyway, there is such a crowd of helpful folks around here I am gonna
fade into the background and obvserver a bit.
