[Gcl-devel] RE: q: invocation history stack overflow (beginner)

[Mike Thomas]

Hi Doron.

> using GCL on Win. how do i get the ihs to be larger?

On any platform, to reset the IHS (and all the other stacks) set the system
variable:

   *si::multiply-stacks*

to an appropriate value (in the example below it is 2) which tells the REPL
to close down, multiply the stack size by the said value and then restart.
The value of *si::multiply-stacks* is reset to nil as shown below.

Cheers

Mike Thomas.
