Thanks for all the good, the nicer and the even nicer solutions :-))

I didn't hope that I can learn such many things from such a simple problem.

And finally I found them (delq and delete) at the list functions'
description in the elisp manual (I checked only the string, the array and
sequence functions before posting my original question :-(

How to interpret ?\ ? Where can I learn about this?

Thanks again!!
