I must have explained my original problem very badly.  I know what the
syntax of 'C' is.  I omitted the #ifdef within the GNU Emacs code to
save space within my message.  For those of you that caught that and
thought that was my problem, I apologize.

What I am seeking is information as to *what* XTYPE(arg)==Lisp_Int is
comparing and what it means.  I also am interested in finding out what
XINT(arg) is actually doing (although I can make an assumption).

The problem I am having is that GNU Emacs exits every oncce in a while
with a return code on one (1).  Why is the question.  I don't seem
able to reproduce is, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

If anybody has any information that they can provide me, I would
be a great help!!
