this is the corrected function:
(bye
(if
(vip~vi ## [+<pat> | +[<num>]] <file1> [+[<num>]] <file2> ..
(make
(while (opt)
(let S @
(cond
((pre? "+" S)
(link
(cons
(cond
((= "+" S) T)
((format S) @)
(T (cdr (chop S))) )
(opt) ) ) )
((pre? "-" S) (load (pack (cdr (chop S)))))
(T (link S)) ) ) ) ) )
0
1 ) )
