You'd better use your .lisprc mechanism to load the files.

Edit your .lisprc to contain (load 'foobar) type
instructions in sequence to load the files you want.  Of
course the .lisprc has to be in the current directory (or
home I think will also be tried)

Another method is to use liszt to compile your program (i.e. 
the list of files to load) with the ("-r" ?) bootstrap
option so you can just run it as a command in your script. 

When the program has loaded and booted it will then sit
waiting for input as usual



hope that helps


Tony
