I had (what I think is) a similar request to the net awhile back. It
involved a "startup" file (sf) of commands that I wanted executed each
time a given program was invoked. Logically, that involves catenating
the two sources together; I recieved several responses:

	(cat sf; cat) | prog
	cat sf - | prog
	cat sf /dev/tty | prog

There are slight differences; choose the one that best fits. You may
also need the -u option to cat.

I dont know if this is what you are looking for, or if it applies to
lisp; just trying to start paying back the debt I owe to the net.
