HELP POPUSESLIST John Williams, May 1990 The global variable POPUSESLIST contains a list of directory names used by the commands *LIB, *USES, and *SHOWLIB, for loading and examining library files. POPUSESLIST should not be confused with *POPAUTOLIST, which is a list of directories used by the autoloading mechanism. See HELP * POPAUTOLIST and HELP * AUTOLOAD. POPUSESLIST should be a list of the same format as *POPAUTOLIST (q.v.). The default value of POPUSESLIST is something like: [^(ident popautolist) '$poplocal/local/lib' '$popliblib/' '$popdatalib' ] The presence of <ident popautolist> ensures that POPUSESLIST is always a superset of POPAUTOLIST, i.e. changes to POPAUTOLIST are automatically "transmitted" to POPUSESLIST. Users may add directory names to this list, in order to make their own libraries accessible via any of the following commands: *USES, *LOADLIB, *USESLIB, *SHOWLIB and *LIB. See HELP * INITIAL. Autoloading is explained in more detail in HELP * AUTOLOAD. The POP11 library facilities are described in REF * LIBRARY. --- C.all/help/popuseslist --- Copyright University of Sussex 1991.
