title: Running a Common Lisp function from a Terminal command prompt
body: <p>I'm having some difficulty finding an answer to this, so maybe it isn't possible. I'd like the flexibility of being able to load/compile a lisp file from a command line, i.e. not inside emacs, and then also run one of the lisp functions in that file also from the command line. This is no doubt implementation specific feature, so any pointers on an implementation that offers this (or perhaps it is fairly standard, I don't know). I'm using SBCL and like it, so it would be great if that could do this.</p>
  
  <p>Also I'm using Mac OSX and Terminal.</p>
