independent-application

[shen@schemer.Jpl.Nasa.Gov (Sheldon Shen)]

I posted a question earlier about evaluating an expression
in the fred-window of an independent application.  I have
narrowed down the problem to this:

In an independent application, you cannot do (ask ...) even in
the listener.

Try this in the listener of an independent application (MCL1.3.2):

(defobject x)             ; creating an object is fine.
(ask x (have 'test 1))    ; but then you cannot do this.

Error: NIL cannot be FUNCALLed or APPLYed.

Any idea?
