I had my first PR merged into Medley Interlisp.

Although I worked on other PRs related to documentation and the project site, this is the first involving actual system code. The change was absolutely trivial, removing a duplicate line of code, but helped me get familiar with the setup and workflow of tracking and compiling modified files.

It turns out working on system code is pretty much the same as user code. You use the same tools and go through similar steps.

I guess now I'm a hotshot core kernel developer or something.

@amoroso awesome! As someone who is still trying to unwrap what Medley interlisp is, I admire your will to do work in this, no matter how simple the code change is.

@iogrt Thanks! I've been immersing in Medley for the past couple of years and I love exploring and learning such a rich environment.

@amoroso I was impressed, until I saw it was a duplicate NOP.

J/K Congrats to your dedication, and don't ever stop.

@ksaj LOL Right, the point was to practice the steps and workflow with something harmless.
