no, direct accessibility by URL was not in original requirements, so i didn't bother with it. in ABCL-web there is one entry point and other pages are linked via action-link from it. so if i rename said to start-page it will work directly.

newer version of ABCL-web i'm currenly working on supports publishing functions by URLs, so i could write "(defpage said.." with it.

          (view-definition (action-form ...
because it was made as an experiment to submit/publish functions via web, and so there's no macro like defpage to do this.

i'm actually planning to finalize this stuff and release it as live demo -- so people can try programming it online -- soon.
