With my old clisp, I had to invoke it via a bat file that read such as:

lisp -M lispinit.mem

and got a ">" when it was ready.

With 2.33.82, I used the "install.bat" file and everything went fine.
Now, however, I get a "[1]>" when ready.  What does that mean?  Why the
difference in the "prompt" between the two versions?  Where can I get a
"What's New" file deliniating the new features of 2.33.82 verses the
old version?

Thanks.

I just guess that the [1] means that it is the first command.  There's 
probably a history function that allows you to quickly paste in command 
number 4 in later, if you want to, without copying-and-pasting it.
