loading LSIP errors

I was trying the basic tutorials at the AfraLISP.net website but when I try to load "testline" from part 2 of the basic tutorial I get the eroor message:

; error: LOAD failed: "testline"

I tried jus typing load to fin d which directory it was looking in and although it was in the right place it was looking for a .SHX file and there were no other options to change that to. I tried typing the LSIP filed from the tutorial and then tried cut and paste in case I had typed something wrong but got the same error both ways. Using Notepad as the text editor.

Any ideas?

if you say load , I hope you didn't just type 'load testline' but '(load "testline") , that's because load alone (sounds like home alone) means load shape file and (load...) means load lispfile

gr. Rlx

when attempting to load the .lsp file I did follow the correct syntax but your reply does explain why I could not change the type of file it searched for when I did just try "load"

Try (findfile "testline.lsp")

Appload is just that load an application including Lisps.

Like rlx at the keyboard type (load "Testline") but it must be in your support paths. If elsewhere must use full path (load "c:\\mylisps\\workingonnow\\testline") say usb (load "E:\\testline")

Another open explorer go to where your lisp is drag & drop onto Autocad. I use this for lisps that I run very rarely. I have a shortcut to my lisp directory.

Just me write in notepad, save, drag& drop, just find VLide traps errors and have problems resetting end up closing and starting again, yes I know its not right to do it this way.
