Hold on one second there. I was not challenging Pascal's knowledge of
Emacs or Elisp.
I was merely suggesting that telling someone to write a perl script to
parse elisp to find examples of conditionals was maybe not as helpful as
pointing out a good resource for learning other than the elisp manual.

I have no idea what you're talking about. While I realise Xah rattles
some people his elisp "get going" tutorial is very good IMHO.
