The following letter to the editor was published in Softalk of March,
1984:

  I have come into possession recently of a program called Microlisp.  I
understand that it has been around for some time, so maybe someone out
there knows something about it.  I cannot get it to do anything but
print numbers I type in or print the word "nil".  How do I make it do
anything else?  Can you give me an example of something useful that I
might be able to do with it?
