Just a doubt... The SLIME manual says: the value of this variable is only checked when swank accepts the connection so you should set it via ~/.swank.lisp.
So I put in .swank.lisp (setq swank:*globally-redirect-io* t) but then SBCL complained that the variable is undefined. So I had to change it to (defvar swank:*globally-redirect-io* t) Is this the right way to do it?
