Purchase the books I referred to in my previous email.

Little Schemer
Seasoned Schemer
Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (Sussman and Steele)
ANSI Common Lisp (Paul Graham)

Also these:

Xlib Programming Manual (Volume One)
X Toolkit Intrinsics Programming Manual (Volume Four)

And if you can get them, these:

Advanced X Window Applications Programming (Eric Foster Johnson)
On Lisp (Paul Graham)
Professional Graphics Programming in the X Window System (Eric Foster Johnson)
X Protocol Reference Manual (Volume Zero)

LISP is the up and coming language.  Don't be bowled over by surprise when
it starts to supplant C in more and more applications.  C++ of
course, isn't even worth considering.  Its the COBOL of the 90's.
Only worse.  Much worse :>

Heres your first scheme (similar to lisp) function:

(define (factorial n) (if (> n 1) (* n (factorial (- n 1))) 1))

Now type (factorial 10) and see the result.
