Hi :) I'm pretty new to newlisp, but I'm loving it so far for its quick scripting abilities-- I want to see if it can outdo Python for terseness.
What I can't seem to find an answer to: I want to execute multiple expressions within an if-statement branch without defining a separate function. So, when the if-statement below evaluates to true, I want to push the value 10 onto the list x, and in the same breath clear the list y (without defining separate function).
(set 'x '())
(set 'y '(1 2 3))
(if
(nil?) (push 10 x)) ; how can I also clear y here? (evaluate multiple expressions)
Probably an ignorant question, but I'm struggling to find a better way. Thanks!

Excellent, thanks! My eyes seemed to have skipped over that after bouncing around the wiki so frequently the last few days.
