Any assistance would be appreciated.
Perhaps a little late, but... SLIME uses a character stream for the communication and we have to use certain encoding. The default encoding is latin-1, which can't represent your character. You can choose a different encoding by setting `slime-net-coding-system', e.g. to 'utf-8-unix if you have a Unicode capable Emacs. It's unfortunate that SLIME doesn't give better diagnostic messages in this case, but the error occurs at a very low level and it would be rather hard to recover from there. If you use non-latin1 chars, you should now what you're doing and you have to pay the price. Helmut.
