to run a lisp command you can use )lisp.
if you want to run a lot of them from the command line do:
--> )lisp (setq $dalymode t)
--> (+ 2 3)
--> (defun foo (x y) (+ x y))
--> (foo 2 3)
--> 2 + 3
$dalymode says:
if the first character is a '('
then it is lisp
else it is axiom
to disable it do:
--> (setq $dalymode nil)
i wrote this change to the interpreter because i tend to use lisp a lot
during maintenance. it breaks some syntax but you can work around that.
it is just a personal hack and hence isn't documented anywhere (yet).
if you really want to "drop" into lisp do:
--> )fin
BOOT>
and now you are talking only to lisp at a lisp command prompt in
the boot package. to restart axiom type:
BOOT>(restart)
