Hi Folks, 
    thanks for the email/posted responses re calling xlisp from C.
In fact I had just completed a version using unnamed streams when I read
the Niels Mayer's recent posting.  All I did was to split the original
main routine in xlisp.c into three routines, an initialise, a tidy up
and exit, and an evaluate an expression routine.  This latter is not a
loop and simply gets its expression to evaluate from a modified version
of xmkstrinput which creates an unnamed stream and stuffs a string into
it, the string being the argument to the routine.  I will have to look at
error handling though as Niels points out.

Thanks again
