Try this:
..
(setq lst_of_reals (list 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 0.5))
..
(setq min_of_lst_of_reals (eval (cons 'min lst)))
..
As you can see, we use CONS to place the atom MIN at the front of
the list of reals, and then use EVAL to force an explicit evaluation of
the new list. This allows the MIN function to work as documented, while
allowing us the option of applying MIN to a separate list of reals.
