Subject:Re: loading .lisp

Many thanks to John Williams for providing this solution.

This solution has allowed me to compile .lisp programs,
and at the moment that is sufficient. However I ran
across a .lsp program from clx that was being compiled
from a .lisp program which then failed (I just copied to
.lisp for an interim solution).  I expect it would be
good to have a solution that will accept either extension.

Regards,

Neil Nelson
