+<h2>Syntax</h2>
+
+<dl>
+<dt>(reverse list-expr)</dt>
+<dd><i>list-expr</i> - a list or list expression<br>
+returns - a new list in the reverse order</dd>
+</dl>
+
+<h2>Description</h2>
+
+<p>The 'reverse' function reverses the 'list-expr'. The reversed list is the
+returned value. The reversal process only occurs on the 'top-level' of the
+'list-expr'. If there are nested sub-lists, these are left intact.</p>
+
+<h2>Examples</h2>
+
+<pre class="example">
+(reverse NIL) <font color="#008844">; returns NIL</font>
+(reverse 'a) <font color="#008844">; error: bad argument type</font>
+(reverse '(a)) <font color="#008844">; returns (A)</font>
+(reverse '(a b c)) <font color="#008844">; returns (C B A)</font>
+(reverse '((a b) (c d) (e f))) <font color="#008844">; returns ((E F) (C D) (A B))</font>
+(reverse (list (+ 1 2) (+ 3 4))) <font color="#008844">; returns (7 3)</font>
+</pre>
