After writing one or a few files, you can test by loading the files into maxima first. This can be done by putting the (load ...) commands in your personal initialization file .maxima.lsp in your home directory. Or use the file .maxima-wd.lsp right in the same directory where you keep the lisp source code for your new package.
Please consult the document A Programmer's Guide to AKCL and MAXIMA for information on tracing in CL and on interrupting your computation and switching between MAXIMA top level and the underlying CL level.
