Figure 2.2 KnowledgeWorks Listener

First bring up a KnowledgeWorks Listener by choosing KnowledgeWorks > Listener from the KnowledgeWorks Podium. It is also available via Tools > KW Listener . This brings up the KnowledgeWorks listener which accepts Lisp input as well as KnowledgeWorks input. Type

into the Listener, and then change the current directory to that of the animals demo by entering, if you are using the Unix version

or, if you are using the Linux version

where install is the location where LispWorks was installed. If you're not sure where that is, evaluate the Lisp variable *lispworks-directory* .

Load the tutorial by typing

to load the tutorial system definition, and

to compile and load the rules and object base (CLOS objects). In interpreting these two commands, the KnowledgeWorks Listener has behaved just like a Lisp Listener. In general, whenever input has no specific KnowledgeWorks interpretation, the KnowledgeWorks Listener just accepts it as Lisp.
