Hi everybody,

I  cannot set properly the interface between xemacs and acl5 for Linux.

To the load-path have been cons some acl5 directories:
(setq load-path (cons "/usr/local/acl5/" load-path))
(setq load-path (cons "/usr/local/acl5/eli/" load-path))

The fi:common-lisp form has been load "by hand"
M-x fi:common-lisp RET

And the  fi:common-lisp-* variables are set to:
fi:common-lisp-buffer-name		"*common-lisp*"
fi:common-lisp-directory		"/home/algenib"
fi:common-lisp-image-name		"/usr/local/acl5/lisp"
fi:common-lisp-image-arguments		nil
fi:common-lisp-host			"caph.cassiopeia"
fi:common-lisp-image-file		"/usr/local/acl5/lisp.dxl"

This ends up with a *common-lisp* buffer in the Inferior Common Lisp mode:

Allegro CL 5.0.beta [Linux/X86] (4/29/98 0:16)

user(1):

; Fast loading from bundle code/sock.fasl.

user(1): (* 2 3)

Now when editing an *.lsp file, the buffer is in Common Lisp Mode, and in
the menubar appear the
menus ACLFile, ACLEdit, ... (as in the Inferior Common Lisp Mode).

But, among others, the ACLFile/compile form, ACLFile/load file commands are
disabled.
All the commands of the ACLEdit menu are disabled.

ACLFile/load file is also disabled in the Inferior Common Lisp Mode.

How is it possible to evaluate forms in a *.lsp file with
/usr/local/acl5/lisp?

Thank you very much in advance for your help.
