Description: '
'
DEFINEQ FOO (LAMBDA NIL  (A B))  '
Now, select B and select ( ) out.  Instead of "not a list" appearing in Prompt Window, we get (A . B))               '


Workaround: 

Test Case: see above.  Don''t ask me why I selected B and tried to take out parens; a person in the manager''s training class  did!
