I'm not wedded to the name "LOCAL", but if the place you go to get the default good environment on your machine is not "LISP", it has to be some standard package name. Maybe "EXTENDED", or whatever. This could be set up as a nickname for "SCL" or "DEC'S-PROPRIETARY-VAX-EXTENSIONS" or whatever, but it should be a uniform place on each machien so users don't have to hunt for it. -- Scott
