Thank you for the feedback. Indeed I am not using macros just for learning them but for generating code that I will run later. The example I gave here was a toy one. However, my problem is still not resolved because in all the suggestions above, I still need to explicitly pass all the arguments to mysyn such as: (mysyn 1 2 3). Is there a way to pass a list l by its name and not its values. For instance, If l is '(1 2 3) I want to be able to call the macro as (mysyn l) and not (mysyn 1 2 3). Is this possible? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
