pwgl-users: load lisp file automatically

[Luís Antunes Pena-2]

Thank you Mika. Now it works fine.
I have a new question:
How to make PWGL load automatically a lisp file with functions?

package in the 'eval-box' (e.g., cl-user::var).

Luis,

There are two primary ways:

(1) "Lisp" box. It contains an editor just like the text box. In  
contrast to the text box - that is passive - the Lisp box evaluates  
its contents every time you open the patch. The functions and  
variables defined in a Lisp box are, however, per patch only (although  
you can use the functions - deliberately or inadvertently - in other  
patches but this will break the loading of these patches).

(2) The User-library. If you have a collection of Lisp functions and  
data you want to reuse you should concider making a personal user-
library. You can find the documentation in the PWGL Tutorial. You can  
then use SHIFT-U ("Autoload libraries...") to set your library to be  
loaded automatically each time you start PWGL.

hope this helps!
