Hallo

After reading some dokus, I did this:

 (setf user-homedir-pathname 
             "/home/meiner/lisp/metest/")

 (setf metest (make-pathname :name "test" :type "lisp"))


This works fine on suse7.3 and win98. But there are questions:

- sometimes I have files ending with ".lsp" or when copied from
win-platform ".lis". How can I add these endings to "metest" ? Is it
possible to name more than one :type ? (I found no docus about till
now).

- how can I set this path to the default value ? I noticed, suse linked
some paths to /usr/bin, where clisp-program is stored and I will not
distort there anything.

- is there a better way to load a test-file, without typing long
pathnames ?

This is not homework, I run into errors about this on nearlay all
plattforms (win, unix, mac). For example, the suse7.3 has about 4
different clisp-programes and I want to know, which one is actually in
use. How can I do that?
