# This example reads an lisp-esque syntax configuration
# file to make it easier for non-programmers to use
# Blueshift. It will read a file with the same pathname
# just with ‘.conf’ appended (‘lisp-esque.conf’ in this
# case.) However, if the filename of this file ends with
# with ‘rc’, that part will be removed, for example, if
# you rename this script to ‘~/.blueshiftrc’ it will read
# ‘~/.blueshift.conf’ rather than ‘~/.blueshiftrc.conf’.


# Get the name of .conf file
