Loading Files

  The data for the examples and exercises in this tutorial have been stored on files with names ending in .lsp . On the XLISP-STAT distribution disk they can be found in the folder Data . Any variables you save (see the next subsection for details) will also be saved on files of this form. The data in these files can be read into XLISP-STAT with the load function. To load   a file named randu.lsp type the expression

(load "randu.lsp")

or just
(load "randu")

If you give load a name that does not end in .lsp then load will add this suffix. Alternatively, you can use the Load command in the File menu. After loading a file using the File menu Load item the system does not print a prompt. Instead it prints a message indicating that the load is done:
> ; loading "temp.lsp"
; finished loading "temp.lsp"
