Hi Mark,

I use Lisp as a scripting language both common Lisp using Clisp and Elisp
using emacs.

I use CLisp on SuSE and Ubuntu Linux but not on Red Hat.

> Just a thought; anybody used Qi to do scripts?

I have thought about it as a fun and useful way to learn how to program in Qi
but most scripts I write use regular expressions and/or escaped characters and
at the moment these can only be supported in Qi by hacking the core language.
My feeling is the issue of the comment character being the usual escape
character and Qi not providing an alternative escape character limits its
usefulness and this needs to be resolved particularly if Qi is to be used for
scripting.

Henry
