   When i try to run this script in the console, it says "Error: Bad
   syntax of binding spec in let* : (var-one 1)"

   I already wrote a much bigger script using information from an old
   tutorial but without trying out this simple part of it first and
   now that doesn't work, except when you replace the variables with
   values.

   Using gimp 2.6.6 and Ubuntu 9.04

   (let* 
	   (var-one 1)
	   (var-two 2)
	   (var-three 3)
   )

The syntax of let* is

(let* bindings &body body)

The bindings are a single argument, so they have to be a list:

(let* ((var-one 1)
       (var-two 2))
  ...body...)
