Hi:

Thanks for the tip.

What I'm trying to do:  I have a host of kx-...  functions which I want to call 
from any interpreter with the same syntax,  i.e.  let's say for instance 
(kx-file-open "funny-file.txt")

Now,  within the kx-file-open I need to find out whether I'm in guile or clisp 
or emacs, via a function call, let's say kx-interpreter.

This function should return let's say 0 for guile, 1 for clisp and 2 for emacs. 
Based on this, the file open function will use the appropriate lisp syntax for 
opening the file.

Now I'm wondering what the most effective / fastest way is to find out not 
whether a symbol is defined, but basically the answer to the self-awareness 
question: am I in guile, or am I in emacs...
