+<h2>Syntax</h2>
+
+<dl>
+<dt>(not <i>expr</i>)</dt>
+<dd><i>expr</i> - the expression to check<br>
+return - <a href="t.htm">&nbsp;T&nbsp;</a> if the value is
+<nobr><a href="nil.htm">NIL</a> ,</nobr>
+<a href="nil.htm">NIL</a> otherwise</dd>
+</dl>
+
+<h2>Description</h2>
+
+<p>The 'not' predicate function checks to see if the 'expr' is false.
+<a href="t.htm">&nbsp;T&nbsp;</a> is returned if the
+expression is <nobr><a href="nil.htm">NIL</a> ,</nobr>
+<a href="nil.htm">NIL</a> is returned otherwise.</p>
+
+<h2>Examples</h2>
+
+<pre class="example">
+(not '()) <font color="#008844">; returns T - empty list</font>
+(not ()) <font color="#008844">; returns T - still empty</font>
+(setq a NIL) <font color="#008844">; set up a variable</font>
+(not a) <font color="#008844">; returns T - value = empty list</font>
+
+(not "a") <font color="#008844">; returns NIL - not a list</font>
+(not 'a) <font color="#008844">; returns NIL - not a list</font>
+</pre>
+
+<p><b>Note:</b> The 'not' predicate is the same function as the
+<a href="null.htm">null</a> predicate.</p>
+
+<p>See the
+<a href="../manual/xlisp-man-018.htm#not">not</a>
+predicate function in the <nobr>XLISP 2.0</nobr> manual.</p>
