It appears that the TOPS-20 version of maclisp looks for its ini file
as PS:LISP.INI. This means that when you are connected to another dir
and run maclisp, it doesn't find any ini file unless there is a local
one. I think it would be better if the system looked for
HOME:LISP.INI, which the user can define to be whatever he wants --
PS: only as at present, PS: followed by the login dir, the login
dir only, or whatever. Trivial change, and I can't see how it can
screw anyone except the first time they run the altered version.
