Perhaps someone can give me some advise about using slime with the sbcl compiler.

When I load an asdf system from inside slime, using ,load-system

sometimes there are compiler warnings and errors printing into the repl buffer,

*slime-repl sbcl* in my case.

Is there a way navigate to the code where the errors occur?

I've tried the menu items:

SLIME->Compilation->List Notes

SLIME->Compilation->Next Note

But they don't seem to do anything.

For example, in the compile log (printed to the slime repl buffer)

I see several of "issues" in the text, 1) undefined function FINAL-P

2)   #'EQ passed as :key which probably should be :test, 3) Required 

argument is not a symbol: (SM STATE-MACHINE), which is probably a defun 

where it should be defmethod.

Anyway, I can find the errors in my code because I know my own code

pretty well.  But isn't there something slime can do to help me which

I'm not taking advantage of?
