[Openmcl-devel] Specifying data types for calls via the Obj-C bridge with a variable number of arguments

[Phil]

Ah... thanks!  Am I correct in assuming you meant (objc:send  
(objc:@class "NSString") :string-with-format #@"Testing: %@" (:id  
"one two three four")) as an example of using a Lisp string?  (i.e.  
it appears to work but seems a little weird as %@ is used in the  
format string.)

Thanks,
Phil
