HELP!
I have installed XLisp CE on my Compaq C140, but I can't get it to do
anything. I know very little about lisp (I'm learning about it in my AI
classes). XLisp works fine on my PC.
Now to the details. It's installed in the xlisp21 directory. I have
init.lsp in that directory. It will run, I get the following on the screen:
XLISP version 2.1, Copyright (c) 1989, by David Betz
>
I try to load a file:
(load 'astro3) ;;;by the way, astro3.lsp is in the same directory
and I get
NIL
>
This is obviously not good. I am at a loss. Any pointers would be
appreciated.
Thanx

Instead try (load "astro3.lsp") I don't know what your compaq has for
an operating system, but some operating systems are case sensitive (Unix
especially). When you say (load 'astro3), Xlisp is probably looking for
a file ASTRO3.LSP, since it uppercases symbols.
However, if your running on MS-DOS, this should not be a problem.
Instead, try to figure out what directory Xlisp is trying to load from.

That didn't work. I tried all permutations of upper and lower case filename
vs extention and had no luck. I even tried to use ' in front of the " and
that didn't work either.
I still have no clue how to get this to work.
But thanks for the input. It made sence to me, so I tried it.

Never mind. Boy do I feel stupid.
"Fully qualified path name"!
There should be some way around this (don't know how to set a PATH in CE),
but I got it working, so that's great.
