Thanks! Playing with it a bit now, and ran into two things:

1) I don't even remember CoCo keymappings and I'm on a foreign keyboard;
trying to type anything is non-trivial.

2) I see what you mean about it being not very impressive. Missing lambdas
and macros is a bit ... un-lispy. :P

Do like that they offer head and tail as alternates to car/cdr. They're
second nature to me now, but they are one of those oddities of older Lisps
that can be a bit offputting.
