A string in elisp must be some really strange thing.
(add-to-list 'tramp-shell-prompt-pattern "abc")
also gives the same error. It seems that everything and anything I put into
the third arg is a listp. It's a shame elisp is so obtuse. I'd like to learn
it so's to do some helpful work on emacs. Several times I've tried to do
simple things in elisp, following books and tutorials, but never had any
progress with it. Maybe I need to be dyslexic. :)
