Multiple Values</A>
</H1>
<#2937#>multiple values<#2937#>
<P>
Ordinarily the result of calling a Lisp function is a single Lisp object.
Sometimes, however, it is convenient for a function to compute several
objects and return them.
Common Lisp provides a mechanism for handling multiple values directly.
This mechanism is cleaner and more efficient than the usual tricks
involving returning a list of results or stashing results in global
variables.
