Re: hyperspec issues?

OK.  I "solved" the "problem".  In the sample emacs file
(ilisp.emacs), it suggests setting up the hyperspec via:

;; If you have a local copy of the HyperSpec, set its path here.
; (setq common-lisp-hyperspec-root
;       "file:/home/joe/HyperSpec/")
; (setq common-lisp-hyperspec-symbol-table
;       "/home/joe/HyperSpec/Data/Map_Sym.Txt")

I put this in my .emacs, changing pathnames.  Unfortunately for me,
the default filename for the symbol-table file when you download the
hyperspec is Map_Sym.txt, not Map_Sym.Txt.  Also unfortunately for me,
the program is not written to complain if it doesn't find the file ---
it just happily runs the code and produces an empty symbol table.
Both these issues should probably be fixed.

At least I learned more about debugging elisp code.
