Thanks for the responses. I just want to clarify one more thing.

I have an sexpr which is created dynamically at runtime and I want to transform this sexpr. It seemed really easy to do the transformation using a syntax-rules macro. So the problem is I have missed the boat at this stage as macro expansion has already taken place. The only way I can see how to invoke the macro at this stage is by using eval. I am not sure what you mean by a transformer binding and syntax-local-value. Is there a simple example of this in action I could take a look at?

Thanks for your patience.
