Thanks, I cannot do this because I don't actually pass the symbol p
directly (with 'p) but is read from a file that contains a list of these
symbols and each one of these is passed as parameter to the function.

Basically the package p2 corresponds to a "utilties" package in which I
have a function that adds "a" or "an" before a word as it is the
necessary. The global variable *test* contains a list of words that are
exceptions to the a-or-an rule. So if the current word is a member of
these exceptions than it adds "an" otherwise "a".

Thanks again, Fabrizio.
