Ok, this sounds a little stupid, but how do I exit gcl elegantly?
So far I've had to ^Z and kill, and it seems to me there must be a better
way. I've tried all kinds of things including (quit) quit 'quit ('quit)
(exit) 'exit ('exit) 'exit si::quit si::exit and they all lead to an error
message.
I can't seem to find any documentation on this matter, either. Can
someone point me to the gcl manual?
Thank you for your time

I don't know if the GNU KCL (GCL) has any new documentation but there is KCL
documentation which can get you by. There is a KCL Common Lisp Report and a
KCL Common Lisp Dictionary.
The history of GCL was
KCL -> AKCL -> GCL
KCL which stands for Kyoto Common Lisp used to have the documents at
rascal.ics.utexas.edu /pub/kcl/kcl-report.tex.Z
but I tried it and couldn't seem to connect. But doing some poking around
on the web I found
http://ftp.sunet.se/ftp/pub/lang/lisp/impl/kcl/kcl/report/

That works, but an even simpler way is to type ctrl-D, representing EOF on
input. Most unix programs that read from stdin will exit on EOF.
