Hi,

That would not be considered an "example" for at least two reasons. Do you
see why?

As an example, I want have most of the functions for Plus, Minus already
written.

Here is the code for it.

(define (plus num1 num2)
(+ num1 num2))

That is childs stuff...  Here is where I am having the problem, and please
keep in mind I am new to DrRacket...

If my program accepts input such as
(plus 13 5)

I need to parse it so that I know what it is asking for.  If It is a left
parent, then I need to move on, if it is a right parent, move on to the next
character, once i get to the next character I can see it is an alphanumeric
character, but then I need to somehow read the whole word, so that I can
store that value in a variable so that I can read the next number.  If the
numbers are single digits, it is easy, because they are only one charater
each and read-char works perfect, but I need something like a read-word, or
read-number and I can't seem to figure out how to do it.

So really I need to know how do I read the words when there are characters
present, and read the whole numbers when there is a number present.
