+<h2>Syntax</h2>
+
+<dl>
+<dt>(flet ([<i>function</i> ... ]) <i>expr</i> ... )</dt>
+<dd><i>function</i> - a function definition binding which is of the form:
+<dl><dd>(<i>symbol arg-list body</i>)
+<dl><dd><i>symbol</i> - the symbol specifying the function name<br>
+<i>arg-list</i> - the argument list for the function <br>
+<i>body</i> - the body of the function</dd></dl></dd></dl>
+<i>expr</i> - an expression<br>
+returns - the value of the last expression</dd>
+</dl>
+
+<h2>Description</h2>
+
+<p>The 'flet' special form is basically a local block construct that allows
+local 'function' definitions followed by a block of code to evaluate. The
+first form after the 'flet' is the 'binding' form. It contains a series of
+'functions'. The 'flet' form will go through and define the 'symbols' of the
+'functions' and then sequentially execute the 'exprs'. The value of the last
+'expr' evaluated is returned. When the 'flet' is finished execution, the
+'symbols' that were defined will no longer exist.</p>
+
+<h2>Examples</h2>
+
+<pre class="example">
+(flet ((fuzz (x) (+ x x)))  <font color="#008844">; an FLET with FUZZ local function</font>
+  (fuzz 2))                 <font color="#008844">; returns 4</font>
+                            <font color="#008844">; FUZZ no longer exists</font>
+
+(fuzz 2)                    <font color="#008844">; error: unbound function - FUZZ</font>
+
+                            <font color="#008844">; an empty flet</font>
+(flet () (print 'a))        <font color="#008844">; prints A</font>
+</pre>
+
+<p><b>Note:</b> 'flet' does not allow recursive definitions of functions.
+The <a href="labels.htm">labels</a> special form does allow this.</p>
+
+<p>See the
+<a href="../manual/xlisp-man-019.htm#flet">flet</a>
+special form in the <nobr>XLISP 2.0</nobr> manual.</p>
