I am working on a program to be written in AKCL, and I wish to have
dynamically created
lambda expressions which have some sort of static symbol information
specific to the
expression.  Is there a simple way/package to implement this, or is the
best way to
manually create a self-modifying a-list (or similar structure) to store
the permanent
information?

For example, say I have the following expression (excuse syntactic errors):`

(lambda () (let ((c 0)) (setq c (1+ c)) (if (= c 10) (do something))))

which is called intermittantly from my code - obviously, I want c to
remain there
between calls.  But I am going to be creating these lambda expressions
on the fly,
albiet in some standard formats.

Thanks, if you can help.  Email me please.
