I again did C-x 2, then in the lower frame I did C-x C-left-arrow to get to *inferior lisp* and then I did (sb-ext:describe-compiler-policy) in *inferior lisp* and all of the output went to the upper frame *slime-repl sbcl* the same as with the .emacs you sent.
This is because of SWANK:*GLOBALLY-REDIRECT-IO* being T, as you found out.
I was also able to use the delete key to delete all selected text in the *inferior lisp* frame as I once did.
I haven't looked but you probably enable some kind of `delete-selection-mode' in your emacs, which explains this.
I apologize for my memory lapse and I hope I didn't put you through too much difficulty...
Don't apologize, your testing is valuable and there was indeed a bug in slime-repl-emit, which you helped catch.
Thanks, João
