[comp.sys.apollo] Help needed with Lucid Common Lisp

GELINASJ@CMR001.BITNET (01/04/90)

A professor here is having trouble using the editor with LISP: it is not possibl
e
anymore to save a LISP buffer into a file as he used to do at SR9.7.
Can someone point us to the error, or do we have to live with this
"internal" error. Thanks.

I have copied almost everything that is keyed in or appears on
the screen below.

Line    Explanation
  0     We run SR10.1/aegis+bsd4.3  on this DN4000
1-6     Call wedlisp and define a dummy fcn in the Main buffer
  7     Invoke the Save File command
  8     Define the name of the file as "dummy"
  9     Answer another question by (yes)
 10     ... and this is what results ...
