This means that this expressions is immediately executed, instead of being defined as a function 'go', right? Why would you want to do this? I think the problem is that the wiki article doesn't explicitly explain _how_ to start this program. It assumes a general knowledge, about the consensus how all such applications are started. If you check more examples, you see that they are all started in a kind of uniform way, calling 'main' and then 'go'. Try to start the program as $ ./pil misc/canvas.l -main -go + See? First 'main' is executed, then 'go'. In your case, you immediately execute 'server', before running 'main'. So you get > : !? (set *Plot (- *DY *DY/2 (setq *Value (rand -100 100)))) > NIL -- Protected symbol because the global '*Plot' wants to be initialized in 'main'. It still has the intial value 'NIL'. ♪♫ Alex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:[email protected]?subject=Unsubscribe
