    Can anyone tell me what is actually the proper way to change the
    working directory in Common Lisp?  Is setting
    *default-pathname-defaults* OK?  

(setf *default-pathname-defaults* ...)

    (I need it to get a proper load path, so chdir won't do.)

In Allegro CL,  you can also use the :cd top-level command to change
the value of *default-pathname-defaults*
