With raw CMUCL, I am able to do the following:

* !$( ls -F )
; [... snip for brevity ...] #<process 523 :EXITED> *
However, when I attempt the same thing in a SLIME REPL, I encounter the following blah stack:
End-of-File on #<String-Input Stream> [Condition of type END-OF-FILE]
SLIME is getting confused and asking Lisp to evaluate your input before it's complete. When you press RET the first time Emacs is asking Lisp to eval "!$(" and is getting END-OF-FILE. Quick workaround is to press C-j instead of RET when entering multi-line input with this syntax. C-j will always open a new line, whereas RET will try to decide if the input is finished or not. Sorry but I haven't got time to make a proper fix today!
