Hi everyone,

I am new to lisp.  I just dnloaded the gcl on my linux box.  But I don't 
know how to let it read in files.  

I tried (load 'filename.lisp), but it doesn't work.  Could someone tell 
me how to load files and how to end the gcl.  

Other question is about gcl under emacs.  How could you do that?  Could I 
debug my program in emacs just like running gdb at c-mode?

Thank in advanced for your help.

(load "filename")

with ILISP
read its "info" node (C-h i)

add to your ~/.emacs:
-=-=-=
    (require 'completer)
    (autoload 'run-ilisp "ilisp" "Select a new inferior LISP." t)
    (autoload 'gcl "ilisp" "Inferior GNU Common LISP." t)
    (setq clisp-program "ilisp"
          gcl-program "gcl"
          ecl-program "gcl")

    (add-hook 'lisp-mode-hook '(lambda ()
                                 (require 'ilisp)
                                 (font-lock-mode 1)
                                 (abbrev-mode 1)))

that not a real option with Lisp, which can be intepreted. please read the
http://www.apl.jhu.edu/~hall/lisp.html, the Lisp FAQ and a then a good
textbook.
