Thanks for the advice and encouragement. :-)

I am planning to learn syntax-rules soon. I did some initial reading
when I started but it was a bit confusing so I decided to put it off
till I had a better handle on things.

Also, changing the global variable *street* to a local variable worked! :-)

Have a great day
