launching functions

Dear Fellow Skill Coders;

Is there a way to launch a function (defun xxx () directly without having to associate this to a axlCmdRegister command?

 Thanks for any help with this.

Marvin.

    In a Skill console just type the name of the function

    eg. myFunction

    or myFunction()

    In the Allegro console type: Skill myFunction

     Dave,

    Thanks for the reply.  I tried all your suggestions but all I get is:

    E-*Error* eval: undefined function - "function name"

     

    Any other suggestion?

     Marvin.

     Dave,

    Please diregard my last posting.  Apparently these must be case sensitive.  I have it working now.

    Thank you again!

    Marvin.
