Kjetil,

Awesome. Thanks. I knew there was something simple,
I just couldn't figure it out. That little dot helps
alot! And now for my next question...

Is there a way for a pair within an alist to retrieve
values from other pairs within the same alist? I know
the following code doesn't work, because "my-alist"
is still undefined when I'm calling it, but is there
a way to make it do what I want?

(define my-alist
  `((a 1)
    (b ,(+ 1 (cadr (assq 'a my-alist))))))

Thanks.
- Mark
