Filename extensions

Most Lisps have a default extension that they expect Lisp code files to have. While not absolutely required, it's a good idea to use the extension your Lisp expects:

Lisp System

File Extension

Macintosh Common Lisp

.lisp

Allegro Common Lisp (PC's)

.lsp

Xlisp and Xlisp-Stat

.lsp

Kyoto Common Lisp

.lsp

Stopping Lisp

Different Lisps used different functions to exit. Fortunately, window-based Lisps have an easy to find quit command on the main menu, under File.
