<body><div>Saad, at first I thought the problem was you put a space after the single-quote mark. I tried what you entered using the Beginning Student with List Abbreviations language, and it worked, space or no space:<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div><span class="font" style="font-family: menlo, consolas, "courier new", monospace, sans-serif;">> '((1 3 5 7 9) (2 4 6 8 0))</span><br></div>
<div><span class="font" style="font-family: menlo, consolas, "courier new", monospace, sans-serif;">(list (list 1 3 5 7 9) (list 2 4 6 8 0))</span><br></div>
<div><span class="font" style="font-family: menlo, consolas, "courier new", monospace, sans-serif;">> ' ((1 3 5 7 9) (2 4 6 8 0))</span><br></div>
<div><span class="font" style="font-family: menlo, consolas, "courier new", monospace, sans-serif;">(list (list 1 3 5 7 9) (list 2 4 6 8 0))</span><br></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font face="menlo, consolas, courier new, monospace, sans-serif"><span class="font" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif, sans-serif;">Then I tried with the Beginning Student Language, and I got what you got:</span></font><br></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span class="font" style="font-family: menlo, consolas, "courier new", monospace, sans-serif;">'((1 3 5 7 9) (2 4 6 8 0))</span><br></div>
<div><span class="font" style="font-family: menlo, consolas, "courier new", monospace, sans-serif;">quote: expected the name of the symbol after the quote, but found a part</span><br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Then I thought, "Better look at <i>Realm of Racket</i>." On page 21, the page before page 22, it says that for the immediately following examples, you should pick "The Racket Language" (not Beginning Student Language).<br></div>

<div>In the first pages it asks one to download Racket which I already have but in the BSL mode. When using it I type in the following in the interactions panel as advised by Realm of Racket to see about lists (page 22):<br></div>

<div>the message I get is:<br></div>

<div>It does not return the list as it is supposed to in the book.<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Is this because I am using BSL? If so what should I do/<br></div>

<div>Thank you for any help.<br></div>
