Defining functions with a file load into a skill++ let context

Greetings all,

I'm using IC 6.1.500.5

I'm trying to load a file which contains a function definition into a skill++ context without polluting the skill or skill++ top level context.

 Things I've tried:

• Load Command
  • If I execute a 'load' command on it while in skill++, it defines that function at the skill global level.  The file doesn't have a .il or .ils extension, so I think that by default load uses the .il toplevel.
• evalstring
  • I can specify that the string language is in fact 'skill++', but when using evalstring, you end up defining the function definiton at the global level again
• Write a macro to expand in-line
  • With this in that I can create a function that works 1 time, but I can't call it within a loop since the first time it's called, it expands and is 'stuck' thereafter.
• lineread / progn
  • I've tried capturing the file and then using : (apply 'progn l_ret) but that again defines the funtion at the top level.

Any ideas?  Essentially, the file may or may not contain function definitions and I only want to execute the function if the last load defines the function.

Thanks,

Mark

 p.s. I realized after posting that this should be in the Skill forum, but I don't know how to move it and I didn't want to double-post.
