Please forgive my ignorance, but I'm new to the ways of Eval and Apply,
and have a question that isn't dealt with in Winston and Horn (though I'm
sure it is in Steele, which Idon't have). What is the Lisp "(format"
equivalent to this C fragment?:
printf("%3d",baz);
i.e., print something at-least-three-characters-wide.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Thanks very much for any help.

If you don't have a Lisp reference that includes details like this, you
need a better Lisp reference. Otherwise you're likely to waste lots of
time (yours and ours) asking simple questions on the net. The net is no
substitute for basic documentation.
