Re: elisp macros problem

[Lowell Kirsh]

Yes, I have been making sure to quote the list, but it doesn't seem to 
work at all. I've also tried to macroexpand the forms I'm evaluating but 
the minibuffer just shows a condensed version of the expansion with lots 
of '...' placeholders. Is there a simple way to macroexpand and pretty 
print a form without the '...'s ?
