I wasn't aware that any sequence contained anything other than
atoms or the typeless things that atoms become when they participate in
a sequence.

By the way, thanks for the acknowledgement, Brian. I'm only almost as
stupid about the manual as Irv thinks I am 
. And thankyou, Irv, for the
information. There is no clue to this in the definition to poke, though one
might guess at it. This points out one area that the manual is desperately
lacking in. There is no appendix of error messages. What would actually
be nicer is a list of the most common error messages specific to a
particular primitive, function, or procedure associated with the description
thereof. That, along with a little more specifity in the actual definitions
themselves and life would be quite a bit simpler.
