Greetings, list!

I can't seem to successfully follow the instructions to make SLIME work for me. I tried both the stable release, and the CVS tar ball. I also tried the latest CVS version from home last night (can't access CVS from work), but it did not work either. The following output was produced with CVS snapshot in tar format.

I am on Win XP. I have CLISP 2.44 installed.

This is my first encounter with SLIME, so please assume minimum knowledge on my part.

Thanks! Alex

I had to break some lines to fit 80 character length requirement, when posting with gmane.

---------- .emacs begin ----------

---------- .emacs end ----------

This is what I get in the *Messages* buffer: ---------- *Messages* begin ----------

And this is my *inferior-lisp* buffer, after "M-x slime":

---------- *inferior-lisp* begin ----------
