Hello Jany,

See 8.5.1. Booleans:

"
Of all the standard values, only #f counts as false in conditional expressions. Except for #f, all standard values, including #t, pairs, the empty list, symbols, numbers, strings, and procedures, count as true.
"

Hope this will help,
Pavel

Hi Karl.
It is the way that debug uses to output strings.
debug always writes the output as debug "[value of expression]".

This makes me wonder.
I am not sure of the return of the (if entref ...). I rather use
(if (string? entref)...)
But maybe I don't understand well the spec (8.3.1.5)

(if test consequent alternate)
A conditional is evaluated as follows: first, test is evaluated.
If it yields a true value, then consequent is evaluated and its value is returned.
Otherwise, alternate is evaluated and its value is returned.

The question is "what is a true value?". Is any value different from #f
a true value, or is #t the only true value.

Jany
