+
+<h2>Description</h2>
+
+<p>The *obarray* system variable contains the system symbol table.
+This symbol table is an XLISP array that is constructed out of lists.</p>
+
+<h2>Examples</h2>
+
+<pre class="example">
+(defun lookin (sym)                  <font color="#008844">; create a function to</font>
+  (aref *obarray*                    <font color="#008844">;   look inside *OBARRAY*</font>
+    (hash sym (length *obarray*))))  <font color="#008844">;   and look for a specific</font>
+                                     <font color="#008844">;   symbol - returns a list</font>
+
+(lookin "CAR")                       <font color="#008844">; returns (TEST PEEK CAR)</font>
+(lookin "car")                       <font color="#008844">; returns NIL</font>
+</pre>
+
+<p><b>Note:</b> When looking into *obarray* or
+<a href="intern.htm">intern</a>ing symbols, remember that
+&quot;car&quot; and &quot;CAR&quot; written as strings [with quotation marks
+in front and behind] are two different symbols in *obarray*. Remember also
+that normal symbols created by XLISP are upper case names. So, if you type
+in 'car as a normal symbol [with a single quote in front of it], it will be
+the symbol CAR after this normal upper-casing operation.</p>
+
+<p>See the
+<a href="../manual/xlisp-man-011.htm#obarray">*obarray*</a>
+system variable in the <nobr>XLISP 2.0</nobr> manual.</p>
