[Ecls-list] -shell and -load difference

David, this answers it all. "ecl", with -shell command, will quit
after running "runsomelisp.lisp". That is how shell scripts are
intended to work. Take for instance the Unix shell "bash". If you do
bash foo.sh, it will exit when the script is finished: it will not
expect further commands from the input. If you want "ecl" to process
the lines in the mail, then you have to do something in
"runsomelisp.lisp" to parse and execute the remaining lines.

Juanjo
