I am writing a lisp program to create a long list with many (more
than 10) sublists inside.  But for some reasons the list stop appending
after the 10th subslist.  The list looks like the following:

((F O) (M M) (M S) (M C) (S M) (S S) (S C) (C M) (C S) (C C) ...)

What are those "..."?  Is it related to memory of my work station?
How to fix it?  I am using Lucid Common Lisp/DEC system.  Any information
about this matter will be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks in advance.

Look at the global variable *print-length*. Yours must be 10, I think. 
Your list may have been created properly, the output was just cut after 10 list
elements. Do a (SETQ *PRINT-LENGTH* NIL) and look at your list again. You should
get the whole list now.
Hope this helps.
