This code is rather meaningless in PicoLisp.
It returns the list (because it is quoted) and the 'Path' elements are expanded
at *read* time. Please check the PicoLisp docs about read macros.
A result like
> (describe-path '(first second third))
> -> 1st text second 2nd text first 3rd text
is not possible in Lisp (i.e. returning 7 results).
I suspect you want in fact to get a list like
: (describe-path '(first second third))
-> (1st text second 2nd text first 3rd text.)
Then the equivalent of a backquote in other Lisp is 'fill':
(de describe-path (Path)
(fill
'(1st text ^(list (cadr Path)) 2nd text ^(list (car Path)) 3rd text.) ) )
