Be careful, many things in Common Lisp work very different from newLISP, and generally the programming style in newLISP is different, i.e.: less recursion and 'cons'.



The permuation function shown on this forum yesterday is an exception to the rule when it came out very similar to the Common Lisp original. The book is well written and interetsting to read, but I doubt it helps much to improve programming skills in newLISP.
