In UNIX if I cd into the directory where the files are,
and use LOAD, it finds the files in that directory. However,
when i'm using SLIME, i cannot figure out why it tries
to load from the wrong directory? Is this a problem of SLIME? or is
there perhaps some search path mechanism which LOAD knows about. I have
not found any mention of a load-path in the hyper spec documentation of
the LOAD function.
