How to reload a SKILL-script in Allegro

Quist

I am working on some SKILL scripts which are loaded by allegro.ilinit at startup.

If I edit my .il-files how do I get them updated in Allegro?

Right now I restart the program but there must be a simpler way.

A newbie question, I know...  Grin

    Just use load("yourSkillFile.il").

    If you put this in a defun() then you can even call this from the SKILL prompt with a 'shortcut'. Like:

    defun( aa () 

     load("yourSkillFile1.il")

     load("yourSkillFile2.il")

    )

    Now when you type 'aa' in the skill prompt these files are (re)loaded.

    To get a seperate SKILL prompt type this in the Allegro command line:  set telskill

    Thanks, but I don't get it to work.  Blush

    The files are in my $CDS_SITE\SKILL folder but if I only write the file name I get: *Error* load: can't access file - "filename.il"

    I have then tried to give the full path but then I get errors on backslashes....
