Ok, to properly call slime-create-filename-translator , I need to know what cl:machine-instance returns on this local box (since I am not doing anything remotely, just trying to translate Unix-style pathnames in Cygwin Emacs to windows-style pathnames for SBCL lisp.)

But slime-machine-instance and cl:machine-instance are not found via apropos or function search.

Is there something wrong with directly setting slime-filename-translations in this case. And the docs dont specify if the :machine-instance and :remote-host options are strings or regexps. but it looks like they are strings

(setq slime-filename-translations '((".*" (lambda (emacs-filename) (let ((result (shell-command-to-string (concat "cygpath -w " emacs-filename)))) (progn (message (concat "TO-lisp: " result)) result))) (lambda (lisp-filename) (let ((result (shell-command-to-string (concat "cygpath " lisp-filename)))) (progn (message (concat "FROM-lisp: " result)) result))))))

(defadvice slime-init-command (around fix-slime-init activate) (let* ((filename (ad-get-arg 0)) ;; We can't use slime-to-lisp-filename here, as that uses ;; slime-machine-instance, which needs the connection to ;; already be set up. (filename (funcall (first (slime-find-filename-translators "")) (expand-file-name filename)))) (ad-set-arg 0 filename) ad-do-it))

Hi,

In subsection 8.1.3 of the manual, the example code for slime-create-filename-translator contains a misleading error. It uses :machine-instance "remote.example.com" and :remote-host "remote", whereas the those values should be swapped.

There's also a typo ("transaltions") in the relevant text before the example code.
