)read and )synonyms

[Grégory Vanuxem]

Hello,

I have not found the documentation about )read with lisp or boot file
whereas they are supported. I just tested, boot or lisp files are
correctly compiled and loaded but I don't know where to find
documentation about this feature in the interpreter. )help read does
not help. Of course I can understand that it's a developer feature,
but is there a place where this "developer documentation" can be
found?

BTW )help synonym mention:
---------------------------------------------------------
To list all defined synonyms, issue either of

)synonyms
)what synonyms
---------------------------------------------------------

But the )synonyms command no longer works apparently. )what synonyms yes.

It is undocumented now. We could add the following to ')read'
help:

At user level ``developement'' the {\tt )read} command can also
handle Boot and Lisp files.

^^^^ this looks like a typo. It should be ")synonym" instead.

You are right. Just tested.
