move things in LOADUP-FULL to where they ~should~ go

Open masinter opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

Where do these belong (currently part of LOADUP-FULL)? Most came from Ron's init

  • commands cd pwd ls
  • FIXMETA (changes KEYACTION for BLANK-TOP)
  • setting DEFAULTFILETYPE and DEFAULTFILETYPELIST
  • pre-loading (some) fonts
  • changing idle.profile timeout to 0
  • setting *DEFAULT-CLEANUP-COMPILER*

Do these files belong in the full.sysout

  • CHAT, UNIXCHAT (need Maiko changes)
  • THINFILES
  • ISO8859IO (needed by UNICODE?)

Some should be in site or user's greet file -- depending on whether you're doing mostly Interlisp or mostly Common Lisp work, what your idle screen preferences are, what your META key setup is, whether you like Unix-y commands, ..

I think CHAT and UNIXCHAT should be in the full.sysout, THINFILES perhaps up to the user (i.e., in their greet file), and I presume, based on the name, that we'll want ISO8859IO as we're moving to UNICODE.

I don't think either the LISP or the FULL sysouts should contain packages from LISPUSERS or know anything about LISPUSERS before the site/personal greet file is read.

PR #889 handles the first item on the list. we've not kept the rule about lispusers and library.
