Thanks everyone! Sorry for the disaster episode. And we didn't get to the book club; next week when yduJ is back, I guess!

Although you weren't talking to *me*, for the record, I enjoyed today's episode, and wouldn't call it a disaster, even though it wasn't up to your own high standards.

(I thought I posted something along those lines hours ago, but apparently I sent it to the bit bucket in sky somehow)

Thanks and thanks for your advice on cursors in NUD. I had been imagining doing this to find cursors:
CL-USER> '(#:foo #:bar #:cursor #:baz)
(#:FOO #:BAR #:CURSOR #:BAZ)
CL-USER> (find 'cursor * :key 'symbol-name :Test 'string=)

perhaps with multiple uninterned cursors, which is why I had the funny cursor symbols actually swapping their way through conses but then I realised I can just do
@kentpitman @ksaj @TheGibson @mdhughes @baruchel @nosrednayduj @ratxue @hairylarry

@dougmerritt
CL-USER> '(#:foo #:bar #:cursor #:baz)
(#:FOO #:BAR #:CURSOR #:BAZ)
CL-USER> (cdr *)
(#:BAR #:CURSOR #:BAZ)
CL-USER> (search * **)
1
in the first place to find cursors that are just specific conses - no need for named symbols
