Hi, I'm new here .. :)

Welcome!

I'm using slime-cvs on Gentoo:

(defun test ()

<tab>

..indent works ok, but doing this:

(defun test () <tab>" (" <tab> <-- no indent here!

Hope this makes sense!

That's not a SLIME problem but an Emacs problem. Emacs treats every line starting with an open parenthesis as the beginning of a defun (for performance reasons). You can customize this by setting the variable `open-paren-in-column-0-is-defun-start' (check its documentation with C-h v) but the usual workaround is to escape every open parentheses within a string with a backslash:

(defun test () <tab>" (" <tab>

As you'll know the backslash won't be a part of the documentation string in this case - it is solely there to appease Emacs.

HTH, Edi.
