Re: Still can't get Matlisp working

If I try to (use-package "matlisp"), it says it's not a package.  I
can choose 0 in the debugger to "Make this package", but still no
help:

* (use-package "matlisp")

Type-error in COMMON-LISP::PACKAGE-OR-LOSE:  "matlisp" is not of type PACKAGE

Restarts:
  0: [CONTINUE] Make this package.
  1: [ABORT   ] Return to Top-Level.

Debug  (type H for help)

(COMMON-LISP::PACKAGE-OR-LOSE "matlisp")
Source: Error finding source: 
Error in function DEBUG::GET-FILE-TOP-LEVEL-FORM:  Source file no longer exists:  target:code/package.lisp.
0] 0  

T
* (help matlisp)


Error in KERNEL::UNBOUND-SYMBOL-ERROR-HANDLER:  the variable MATLISP is unbound


(in-package "matlisp-user") gives similar, but not identical behavior:

 (in-package "matlisp-user")

The package named "matlisp-user" doesn't exist.

Restarts:
  0: [CONTINUE] Make this package.
  1: [ABORT   ] Return to Top-Level.

Debug  (type H for help)

(KERNEL:%IN-PACKAGE "matlisp-user")

Warning: This variable is undefined:

Warning: This function is undefined:

Error in KERNEL:%COERCE-TO-FUNCTION:  the function HELP is undefined.

Restarts:

Debug  (type H for help)

(KERNEL:%COERCE-TO-FUNCTION HELP)
Source: Error finding source:

I'm still lost.
