yea okay basically i'm wondering if there's some way to use sequences
in conditional expressions while avoid that oh-so-annoying
conditional expression must be an atom error... if you don't know
what i'm talking about, i want to do something like this:
sequence a,b
a = "fred"
b = "bob"
if a = b then
puts(1,"they are the same\n")
else
puts(1,"they are not the same\n")
end if
abort(1)
okay so you see i want to compare two sequences without going through
some sort of costly looping routines and that... oh and one other
thing... does someone want to double check me on whether the vga
bios stores pixel information starting at offset #A0000... uhhh yea
so thanks :>

I'm new here, but I'm pretty sure that the answer is to use the compare()
function. Using your example:
> sequence a,b
>
> a = "fred"
> b = "bob"
>
> if a = b then
change that line to be:
if compare(a, b) = 0 then
> puts(1,"they are the same\n")
> else
> puts(1,"they are not the same\n")
> end if
>
> abort(1)

I tested it, and it seems to work...
