  • The output functions are unnecessary and confusing: you don't care about printing anything to an output stream. princ happens to return its argument (which is what you use here), but it is principally used to print something to an output stream (which you don't use here at all - that's why I think it's confusing). You also should not call the canned org-contacts-template-name since it will ask a question: the object of the game (I thought) was to ask as few questions as possible and then fill in the blanks with the answer or a somewhat massaged version of the answer.

  • The goal (sorry if it wasn't clear enough in my question) was to automatically build an org-link from the org-contacts prompt. I thought at first it would be a good idea to use the package name function. But afterward, thought it would be easier not to. Commented Nov 24, 2021 at 20:25
  • The code I wrote is providing me with the expected results. I don't really understand why princ is wrong, but if you have an alternative that would produce the same results, I'd be happy to edit my code with it. Commented Nov 24, 2021 at 20:30
