[Openmcl-devel] ...the sky is falling

[Joakim Sandgren]

Thank you Gary.
It is now half the way.
I come to the right document but lisp still say Couldn't find  
definition for... and it dont go to the definition.
But I dont have the console anymore.

It also opens the file window in another place than where it was  
saved. And the title is always in uppercase letters (and the files  
name is in lower case letters).
In the old version 13560 the console does the same: open in a new  
location with uppercase letters. when I quitted the console the window  
popped back to its
original location and changed the title to lowsercase letters.

With the "fixed" file (the file where I did paste the totality of the  
original file) I still come to the definition in the 2 versions.
That windw is still though the uppercase letter window in a new  
(default?) location.

This is perhaps a wanted behaviour, I just wanted to point it out..

sincerely
joakim
