   In certain dialects of lisp one can do the following...

 >  ( defun myfunction ( p-list ) ( eval body ) )
     myfunction

           then later

>   ( setq body '( car p-list ) )
     (car p-list)
>   ( myfunction '(a b c d))
     a

   and everything works fine....my questions is, are there any dialects of
   lisp where this wouldnt work, or not work the same?

                           A novice, but working on it, lisp programmer,
                                 Scott Holt
