You could use the aput function instead. which does the same thing. It's in
assoc.el which is included with both GNU Emacs and XEmacs.

,-----< C-h f aput RET >
| aput is a compiled Lisp function in `assoc.el'.
| (aput alist-symbol key &optional value)
|
| Inserts a key-value pair into an alist.
| The alist is referenced by alist-symbol. The key-value pair is made

| ALIST is nil.
|
| If the key-value pair referenced by key can be found in the alist, and
| value is supplied non-nil, then the value of key will be set to value.
| If value is not supplied, or is nil, the key-value pair will not be
