Dan,

Thanks for the suggestion -- most likely I'd need to use
'tellsimp.' After reading your message, I thought of an
alternative:

(defun $max (&rest e)
  (simp-max `(($max) ,@e) nil nil))

(defun $min (&rest e)
  (simp-min `(($min) ,@e) nil nil))

It seems that this works OK. The old max and min
functions can be recovered by loading 'compar.lisp.'
