How can I 'choose slots' in a structure I have defined? Say I have the
structure (user) with the slots (name) and (adres), and I want
a function which accesses one of the two, supplied as an argument
to the function. (I hope I am making myself clear.)
For example:

(defun prt (someone slot)
    (print (user-slot someone)))

I would like to supply 'name' or 'adres' as argument (slot) to the function.
How do I do this? I could probably set things up differently, but I
would like to do it this way :)

thanks,
-peter
