All comments welcome (as if I have a choice! :-)

Looks good to me. How do we communicate that we recognize a thread that
we think should become part of this Meta FAQ?

Add a <title /> so that del.icio.us will auto-populate the description

Good question. I'd say, add it to this thread (that is, the most recent
meta-faq post thread). That will re-front the thread and I'll pick it
up. (I don't monitor my gmail; I only use it as backup, and to post
from.) If you can figure out my "true name" (not that it's *that* big
a secret! :-) I suppose that you can send me direct email. But I'd
rather things be done via posts bcs that way there can be discussion if
anyone disagrees.

ie;
I run (version) Lisp (with graphics) on (Linux, Mac, MS-Windows), can I
expect this code to work on (Mac, MS-Windows, Linux). Sort of thing.

Only a suggestion, but may help foster newbie community interaction.

Let's try an experiment: Start a conversation (in a separate thread),
and if it seems useful, we'll have something to refer to!
