	I recently ran across a language called RLISP.  It appears
to be a preprocessor to make lisp as much like Pascal as possible. 
I'd think this would be a bad thing for a class where many people
were seeing lisp for the first time.  It would make it even harder
to stop thinking in terms of Pascal like constructs.

	Anyway, does anyone know why/when this language was written,
and is it extensively used by anyone?

	Thanks,
