25.1: Introduction for Runtime Environment

- A file which is loaded automatically for you when you start up a MACSYMA, to customize MACSYMA for you. It is possible to have an init file written as a BATCH file of macsyma commands. We hope this makes it easier for users to customize their macsyma environment. Here is an example init file

        /*-*-macsyma-*-*/ 
        setup_autoload("share\;bessel",j0,j1,jn);
        showtime:all; comgrind:true;

The strange looking comment at the top of the file "/*-*-macsyma-*-*/" tells that it is a macsyma-language file. Also: "SETUP_AUTOLOAD" can be used to make functions in BATCH files autoloading, meaning that you can then use (for instance, here) the functions J0, J1 and Jn from the BESSEL package directly because when you use the function the BESSEL package will be loaded in for you automatically. If the second file name in the argument to SETUP_AUTOLOAD is not specified (the preferred usage) then the standard search for second file names of "FASL", "TRLISP", and ">" is done.
