'
If one has an NLAMBDA nospread fn FOO, one can type'
	FOO ALPHA'
to Lispx and FOO will be run, with ALPHA as argument.'
'
If however, one mistypes FOO (as foo, FOOX,etc.) and the spelling corrector sucessfully corrects to FOO, Lispx does not pass the arguments along.'
'
Example': DC file works fine; dc file does not.'
