It sounds like a good, general solution, James, since it would work with any entities that the system knew about (and not just those on the file system). Might it also be useful to add file-input capabilities, for reading auxiliary files, etc., that are not part of the input document? Thank you, by the way, for the corrections. I've been using LISP-like languages for too long to excuse myself for missing the "let*" construction.
