[comp.sys.amiga] Problems with XLisp.

erikj@unmvax.cs.unm.edu (Erik Johannes) (04/11/89)

I have been having a couple problems with XLisp.  They are as follows :

o	The (trace) and (untrace ) functions seem to be missing.  They are
	listed in the manual.

o	I took the PP.LSP program from the AMXLisp disk and tried it
	with plain XLisp.  It blew up.

o	I tried to 'run' AMXLisp.  It blew up.  It does work if you just
	type 'amxlisp' but if you type 'run amxlisp' from the shell (v3.01A)
	it blows up.

o	One other thing I would like is for XLisp to use the console handler
	(conman) so that I can have history and command line editing.

I would greatly appreciate any help with these problems and also any hints/tips
for using XLisp.

I have noticed one more problem to add to my list of problems with XLisp.

o	Apparently XLisp 2.0 does not like to be 'run' from the shell I use
	(v3.01A).  The shell uses the ARP library.  What happens is when I
	try a program on the 'run' XLisp it blows the machine all the way to
	the kickstart.  However, if I execute XLisp directly instead of 'run',
	the program works correctly.

Does anybody know why this happens.  The obvious solution is just not to 'run'
XLisp.
