mapping symbol list to a value list

cessej

I want to map a symbol list into a value list. It looks simple base on sklangref.pdf but it doesnt work as expected.

********************************************

symbolList=list('cv 'bBox 'layer)

valueList=list(geGetEditCellView() list(0:0 10:10) list("M1" "drawing"))

mapcar(lambda((x y) set(x y)) symbolList valueList)

println(cv) ;; doesn't print the result of geGetEditCellView()

println(bBox) ;; it doesnt print list(0:0 10:10)

println(layer) ;; it doesn't print list("M1" "drawing")

    Several of the forms which deal with variable access and evaluation have alternative forms to allow them to cope with the different binding rules in SKILL++. For example, set(), symeval(), eval(), and so on. This is because they wouldn't otherwise know whether you were trying to refer to a SKILL dynamically scoped variable or a SKILL++ lexically scoped variable - and hence they need to know which SKILL++ environment is active - so you pass theEnvironment() to solve this. This is covered in the SKILL++ documentation (in the Language User Guide, if my memory is correct; not at work today), so definitely worth reading.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
