Is there a Lisp FAQ for people who want to learn the language? If
so, where can I get it?

Thanks,

I haven't seen one, but there are some very good tutorial books listed
in the regular FAQ.  Which one you want depends on how much you
already know about programming and what your goals are for Lisp.

First post....next I'll go read the FAQ--wrong order
I know but I couldn't resist.

I use to be a lowly CAD guy who used the quasi language
of AutoLisp to perform macros, and some routines in 
AutoCAD.

Now I am messing with other apps just starting to learn
TCL/TK for unix system purposes.

My question--if I was 'pretty' good with AutoLisp
how much is transferable to the real thing?
I'll go the the FAQ now adn look for some book titles.

thanks

Jay D

Here is a list of interresting addresses. ALU has a list of Lisp books.
