play w/ `type-of' to see the difference. (type-of (+ 6 (* 6 6))) => integer (type-of (type-of (+ 6 (* 6 6)))) => ??? > (princ system-type) > > evaluate to "gnu/linuxgnu/linux" rather than just > "gnu/linux"? there are two things to look at (for a start ;-), namely the value of an expression and its side effects. one way to separate them for better understanding is to save the value for examination later, during the evaluation of the expression: (setq some-var (princ system-type)) then you can do `C-h v some-var RET' after mulling the side effects (which cannot be saved in this way). also, try `C-h c C-j' in the *scratch* buffer. thi _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
