[CM] list sort in Sal

[Heinrich Taube]

infix operators are not functions (the're infix operators). the right  
way to do this would be for me to either add a #'  macro to mark  
things as functions or for me to provide functional names for these in  
scheme). For now the latter is easy enough for you to do ,just put  
something like this in an init file:

(define less? <)
(define greater? >)

then when you start Grace you do

sort(x,less?)

To set an init file use File>Set Init File...
