Hello,
I'm trying to define a few macro characters for use in the slime top-level, but I can't figure out where to put the SET-DISPATCH-MACRO-CHARACTER calls so that they affect the swank readtable instead of the default one. I've tried putting them both in my lisp initialization file and in .swank.lisp, but in both cases the macro character is defined in the initial readtable and not in the slime one (so it works in the *inferior-lisp* buffer, but not in the slime-repl buffer). Thanks!

The initial readtable should be the same readtable as the REPL readtable (if you haven't set *READTABLE* to something else and haven't touched swank:*readtable-alist*.) It's also the behaviour I'm seeing with SBCL.
Does this issue still persist?
-T.

Under Allegro (ACL 8.1) with Slime 2007-09-14, *readtable* has two different values in the Slime REPL and in the original one (*inferior-lisp*). It seems that the Slime readtable gets created after the initialization files are loaded, because whatever I put in them only affects the original one, as I wrote above. I haven't had the time to look in detail at where this happens, though. swank:*readtable-alist* is NIL in both REPLs.
Thanks,
