I think I'm missing something on the concept of "pretty" printing. I
was kind of hoping that using the Pretty Print on the tools menu would
turn:

(defun a (x)
(cons 
a
(cons
b
()
)
)
)

into 

(defun a (x)
   (cons 'a (cons 'b ())))

But...it doesn't. It's not even close.

So, am I missing something?
