I was wondering if there is a good LISP tutorial available
inexpensively (read free) anywhere. For most languages, there are
good, basic tutorials available for download. I''ve done a little
programming in BASIC, C and xBASE so I'm not entirely new to
programming.
Also, I downloaded a copy of VisualLisp and attempted to run it. All
that would happen was the splash screen would come up and then nothing.
Program is real short on documentation and I haven't been able to find
out what's wrong.

Here are two. The first is easier to start with. The second is more
focused on real projects. Both are books, but also available online for
free.

These are both excellent books for longer-term study. For a shorter
tutorial though, I would recommend:
http://www.lisperati.com/casting.html
It worked well for a few of my friends, who have since moved on to the
books listed above.
Best wishes,
Bill.
Well, went to Gigamonkey and started to download. Hmmm, 1 hr and 50+
min. Have to wait till I have more time but I'm going to give it a
try. Thanks.
