[racket] Code Error Creating List

Thanks for this explanation. I had not seen this error before as I am 
new to Scheme. I think I understand what it is saying now. With the 
double ()s it assumes the inner set is a procedure.

I am sorry my code looks so poorly, I have been doing C/C++ almost 
exclusively for 10 years and I get confused when I have 9 closing )s and 
I need to insert a new statement in the middle.

As far as Marco's comments earlier, I should have one function to handle 
parsing the list, and upon finding an expression, pass it to the 
procedure that handles expressions instead of trying to handle it all in 
the same procedure. This makes sense.

Thanks for all your help. Hopefully this will help me move forward and 
continue on in this project!
