I'm working on a Mac version of XLISP that uses the Mac environment.  Until then
it is possible to save function definitions by writing them into a file.  The
definition of a function is stored as a lambda expression as the value of the
function name symbol.  All you need to do is open a file with 'openo' and
'print' the value of the symbol into the file and then close the file.  When
you want to load the function, just 'openi' the file, read the expression and
'
'setq' the symbol name to that value.  Obviously, you would want to write some
XLISP functions to do this for you.  Just place the definitions of those
functions in your 'init.lsp' file.
