Thanks, Helmut. I had grabbed both the cvs snapshot tarfile and the pdf link under documentation from the common-lisp.net slime page. After reading your response, I checked. The project page's pdf is from 2005 while the cvs snapshot was current. I didn't see a current ref. manual in the doc subdir of the cvs snapshot. Even the snapshot's README describes the old setup method, not the new one you describe below.
Is there a current manual? What you described is significant new functionality, which I'm happier to have than a new manual. I'm just curious about the current state of affairs and e.g. status of the manual. Perhaps if the project page warned the manual is out of date and to read the (hopefully updated) README for setup info?
Thanks,
Jeff

The slime-repl is no longer loaded by default. You can do that with (slime-setup '(slime-repl)) in your .emacs.
Alternatively you can try the 'inferior-slime contrib which adds symbol completion and package tracking to the *inferior-lisp*. Or 'slime-mrepl which lets you open multple listeners with M-x slime-open-listener.
