Is there a way to get slime and aclrepl to work together?

i'm pretty sure sb-aclrepl's attempts to read/write from the console don't play well with slime's io model, however what does aclrepl have that slime is missing?

I haven't looked hard, but I couldn't find equivalents for :processes (list all processes), :signal (send a signal to process), :sh (run shell command), and :kill.

I also use the :cd <dir>, :pwd, :ld, and :cl commands all the time in Allegro and sbcl, and they have almost become second nature.

see slime-list-threads. it doesn't allow you to send arbitrary signals to a thread, but you can kill it attach a repl to a thread or open a debugger in a thread.

what should :sh return?

I don't know. As long as they print to *standard-output* what would have gone to stdout, I'm happy. It could either return 0 or 1 according to the result of running the command, as ACL does, or just NIL, as aclrepl does.

of course, i'd just tell you to use eshell, but i'm not that much of an emacs fascist yet.

there are slime shortcuts for all of those, except :pwd, but for that you can just do M-x pwd anyway.

I'm probably missing something obvious, but how do you change directory using shortcuts?

When I type , (comma) and help, this is what I get:

=============== force-compile-system Recompile (but not load) an ASDF system. force-load-system Recompile and load an ASDF system. help (aka ?) Display the help. load-system Compile (as needed) and load an ASDF system. pop-directory (aka -d) Pop the current directory. pop-package (aka -p) Pop the top of the package stack. push-directory (aka +d, pushd) Push a new directory onto the directory stack. push-package (aka +p) Push a package onto the package stack. resend-form Resend the last form. sayoonara Quit the lisp and close all SLIME buffers. ===============

Should there be more shortcuts?

BTW, I can't seem to get the load-system shortcut to work either.

I type ,load-system and then I get the following error message:

This is on sbcl 0.8.10 with the latest FAIRLY-STABLE slime.

Any tips?

Use the `push-directory' (alias pushd) shortcut.

Thanks. After updating to the latest CVS head I also got a new ,cd shortcut.

I type ,load-system and then I get the following error message:

This should be fixed in CVS HEAD.

Indeed, I've upgraded and it works fine.

BTW, thanks to all the slime hackers! What I've seen so far of slime is really cool.
