Dear Christophe, Thanks for such an overwhelming response.
1. I am glad you could get chance to view the doc and give me further suggestions. 2. I have started to read Emulisp too. 3. I wanted to understand your website microalg.info, so I started with certain French learning books/cheatsheet too this morning. I did some French back in graduation days. It was great to come back to French after a long long time. I also felt that Sanskrit knowing person will find French easier to grasp and understand. :) So now I should be able to merge deeper into microalg.info and further write to you after understanding things well. 4. Thank you once again for pointing out various URLs. I have started studying.
