Two useful links in this respect. http://www.lisperati.com/syntax.html http://www.lisperati.com/looking.html Just focus on the diagrams in the link - particularly the flip-flop diagram in the second link. Once you have the flip-flop image in mind, you will realize that characters "`" and "," are also rotated 180 degrees and are actually flip-flops. Now try mapping what flip to "don't evaluate" and flop to "evaluate". Then you can move on to what Nick says or the doc says. --
