Loading Routines

[BeKirra]

I am reviewing what I have done.
I put two routines in one lsp file then comply it to vlx named as "1stVersion.vlx".
Test_1 & Test_2 are the commands.
I paste it to a search path & add a line in my "acaddoc2011.lsp".
It works fine.
But I found a problem when I enter this at command line:
1)

(load "c:\\AutoLispStuff\\1stVersion.vlx")

This should work but I receive the following message:

nil

2)
I then try this at command line (load "c:\\LispStuff\\1stVersion") without the file extension "vlx"
It returns:

C:Test_2

What is wrong?
Thanks in advance.

Nothing's wrong... vlx is behaving just like lsp : If you add 2 (defun c:XXX1 ()) & (defun c:XXX2 ()) functions, when lisp loads it will always show as result last one (c:XXX2), for it assumes that last one defined c:XXX function is main function for executing routine... This is why it's usually one lisp - one defined c:XXX function, and also the name of the lisp is usually the same as XXX function, so that you'll know what to load if you need that XXX function... This your 1stVersion.vlx should be named tests.vlx, and in (defun c:tests ()), you should point that you can use (c:test1) by entering (prompt "\nType \"test1\" for first test"), and also that you can use (c:test2) by entering (prompt "\nType \"test2\" for second test")...
This is how should look your tests.lsp before compiling it in vlx :

(defun c:test1 ())
(defun c:test2 ())
...
(defun c:tests ()
(prompt 1)
(prompt 2)
...
)

Thanks.
I just find out the only reason:
