Hi Stas,

thanks for your reply below  - the behiour seems od.

If I use (slime-setup '(slime-fancy)) no repl is loaded. Likewise if i use (slime-setup '(slime-repl))

However, if I  (require 'slime-repl) and manually call the repl, it appears. I then run into the other issue of communication with the lisp process.

I guess one question might be is ntemacs supported? Should i just use the canonical gnu emacs for windows?

btw, my slime setup comes from my linux box and works perfectly

Do you have slime-repl contrib enabled? One way to do it is (slime-setup
'(slime-repl)), but a better way would be to use (slime-setup
'(slime-fancy)), which enables some useful contribs, including
slime-repl.
