Subject: clispe, defun not allowed?

I recently downloaded a copy of clispe and was rather shocked to find
that defun is not allowed in top-level code.  This seemed like a rather
major handicap to me.  I would like some opinions on the value of clispe
and also, can anyone out there explain how to define functions?  
   I read the imp.notes file and it said you can do stuff like 
         (let .....
             (defun ....))
However when I tried similar structures I got a defun is undefined error.
General opinions on what the deal with clispe is are quite welcome.  
      BTW, I am familiar with MCL and CL2.    Thanks.

The README file in the clisp distribution you got explains how to properly
install clisp. Please read it.
