Would anyone who intends to reply to that message
		***PLEASE***
send a copy to us at Quintus as well?

Anyone who has done this *should* have found it easy:  the library contains
lots of examples, such as library(setof), library(call), library(foreach),
library(maplist), library(retract).  It is probably easier to build on
these (particularly library(call)) than to start from scratch.
