Modes as function parameters?

[Jon Haugsand <Jon.Haugsand@xxxxx>]

I typically have functions like the following:


... (make sequence
          (my-para "Green objects: " par2 par3 mode-green)
          (my-para "Red objects: " par2 par3 mode-red)
          (my-para "Blue objects: " par2 par3 mode-blue)) ...

(mode mode-green ( ..... ))
(mode mode-red ( ..... ))
(mode mode-blue ( ..... ))

 
(define (my-para txt p1 p2 my-mode)
        ( .......  (with-mode my-mode (.....))))

However, this does not work as there is no "my-mode". Why aren't those
modes ordinary lisp symbols? Is there any way to transfer a mode as a
parameter or do I have to make my own mapping function (e.g. using a
"cond" construct)?
