Gee, I didn't think that he might be porting code... Oops.
Anyway, I would have just mailed that message to him, but I thought it
might be of use to new lispers coming from toy PC lisps or something.
But there is a problem with your code: you are destructively modifying
a string passed to INTERN/MAKE-SYMBOL. CLtL, page 169, says that's a bad
idea; MAKE-SYMBOL does not necessarily copy the string, and might move it
to read-only space.
