REFERENCES LispCourse #8: Tailoring Parameters, the File Package, Init Files Tailoring Interlisp to your needs and desires: (FLGS, Parameters, etc.) Parameters & FLGs Default Settings Package-specific Parameters and FLGs How to find out about available parameters and FLGs. Package-specific parameters System-wide parameters Some More Interesting System-Wide Parameters and FLGs The File Package Introduction MAKEFILE and LOAD, with LISTFILES too. The COMS list Introduction The structure of a COMS list FNS VARS ADDVARS FILES P * What does MAKEFILE do? How does LOAD work? How does the user work with the FP? Example LOADable File The FP has ways to make life really easy FILES? MAKEFILES Final Note on the FP At Last, Init Files site-specific Init file user-specific Init file Commonly asked questions: How do I change my init file? How do I start an Init file?
