Scheme isn't really a functional language, though. You can use a subset of it in a functional way, but it doesn't have the sort of built-in support for pattern matching and case analysis that true functional languages tend to have. As families of languages go, Scheme has more in common with Python than Haskell. -- Greg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
