Yep. When there wasn't an obvious answer, I found the same thing. Thank you 
regardless, David. What effect is it that the incorrect character has on the 
LISP processing? The error returned was related the name of the variable...

Also, I guess this is a possible bug in the documentation: Looks like the 
single quote in the PDF version of the manual is Unicode 8217. (And of course I 
copied and pasted, to avoid getting anything wrong when I typed it!) Would that 
be something worth correcting? I have this vague notion that I've encountered 
it elsewhere. The HTML version of the manual is rendered correctly, but the PDF 
is not, I think. A quick scan suggests this — the renderer turns all the single 
quotes into curly quotes, even when they are being used in code.
