Reading in a variable list of strings

[Florian von Savigny]

Hi there,

I am running into problems whatever I try:

I am writing (better, trying to write) a function the core of which is
call-process. The problem is that I would like to be able to supply a
variable number of arguments to the process called, by user
input.

I have no clear idea of how to read in an unknown-length list of
strings. It must be something with (while ...) and (read-string ...),
but (while what?), i. e. how can the user say he's done now?

For the moment, I am reading in just one string and splitting it at
spaces, but this is quick and dirty at best.

Any hints greatly appreciated!
