Ie I would like to be able to inspect variables and redefine functions etc. *while the program is running*. Can SLIME help me do this? Or should I post a question to comp.lang.lisp?

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

What you're attempting to do requires threading. There has been work on that, described on the list. You might check the list archives. Hopefully within a month, you should be able to do just that :-)

Ah I didn't find this. I guess I didn't look hard enough... But that's great news! I'm anxiously anticipating this. :)

Regards,
