Camm,
I take it maxima redefines toplevel or equivalent -- then why not call (get-temp-dir) in the redefined version?
I must be missing something here. I really don't see how Maxima, or any random user program, can take on the responsibility to initialize its Lisp implementation.
Everyone is area of *top-level-hook*, yes? The way it appears to me at the moment, get-temp-dir would be properly invoked were the maxima toplevel to be invoked via this hook.
It appears that *top-level-hook* is GCL-specific (it doesn't appear in CLHS) but if we can resolve this problem by arranging to be called via *top-level-hook*, that would be better than calling (get-temp-dir) directly. All the best Robert _______________________________________________ Gcl-devel mailing list Gcl-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gcl-devel
