In a Macintosh Programmer Workshop window: echo Hello Command-RETURN inserts: Hello in the window at the current position.
In a Smalltalk Workspace window: 1 + 2 . A-d inserts 3 in the Workspace window at the current position.
In an emacs lisp source buffer: (insert "\nHello\n") C-u C-x C-e inserts: Hello nil in the current buffer at the point.
In a Common-Lisp source buffer with ilisp: (format t "~&Hello") C-z C-e inserts: Hello NIL in the current buffer at the point.
In a Common-Lisp source buffer with slime: (format t "~&Hello") C-x C-e inserts nothing. Hides the result as soon as I type or move the mouse (like for example try to copy-and-paste it from the mini buffer, and I have to manipulate buffers, to reduce the size of my source, to hide it entirely to show the whole output that has been sent in some other buffer. Why so much hatred?
I want both the output and the result of the function to be inserted at the point! How can that be done with slime?

What can I say. This is not implemented (yet). Would you like to work on this?
It's slightly complicated because of the dedicated-output-stream feature. The output on the dedicated stream is not encoded as one of our normal events and that means that we don't know exactly where the output of one command starts and where it ends. The slime-repl code uses timers to deal with this problem, but that's really ugly.

Well, I tried, but I don't know slime internals well enough.
