Thanks for this addition! However, wouldn't "[" and "]" been sufficient?

I don't want to give those away yet ;). It also would prohibit using ] in your text, while it is not probable that some body would want to use "[/text]" inside the text.
Also: a new release is out: newLISP v.7.1.0 at http://newlisp.org and changes at: http://newlisp.org/changes.html .

hello Lutz!
thank you for the 7.10 release. as far as brackets [!] are concerned, they are now accepted in lieu of parentheses by PLT scheme. PLT code uses [] as a means of breaking up the confusion of deeply nested structures. as a visual trick, it actually works out quite well.
brackets also offer the advantage of not shifting (eliminate keyboard remapping -- my trick ;-).
so, hang on to those [!] for now[!]
