*load-search-list*

The value of this variable is a search list used by load (and equivalents like the :ld top-level command) to find a file to load when incomplete pathname information is supplied.

See Search lists in loading.htm for a description of the search list algorithm and structure.

While the value may vary from platform to platform, the initial load search list is typically quite simple, with a value like

(#p"" #p(:type "fasl") #p(:type "cl") #p(:type
  "lisp"))

That tells what file type to look for when no type is provided.

See loading.htm for general information on loading and search lists in Allegro CL.
