What do I expect ... how thought provoking. The manual shows:
Command: goto-line line
This function ...
C-f h goto-line RET shows:
goto-line is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `simple'.
(goto-line ARG)
Goto line ARG, counting from line 1 at beginning of buffer.
I am new to this. Is it technically a command or function? Can it be used
immediatly after an opening parenthesis? It seems to work fine outside of
this conditional. I can put other commands in the conditional and they fail,
also.

progn is a special form.
(progn BODY ...)
Eval BODY forms sequentially and return value of last one.
This doesn't tell me a whole lot. I get an invalid function using progn,
also. Is it a function?
