I'm running through Practical Common Lisp using SLIME + clisp on slackware, and I've run into a problem in chapter 3 with the prompt-for-cd function: (defun prompt-for-cd () (make-cd (prompt-read "Title") (prompt-read "Artist") (or (parse-integer (prompt-read "Rating") :junk-allowed t)) (y-or-n-p "Ripped [y/n]: "))) If I run clisp in a terminal it works as expected: [6]> (prompt-for-cd) Title: La Peste Artist: Alabama 3 Rating: 5 Ripped [y/n]: (y/n) y (:TITLE "La Peste" :ARTIST "Alabama 3" :RATING 5 :RIPPED T) But in SLIME this happens: CL-USER> (prompt-for-cd) Title: La Peste Artist: Rating: 5 Ripped [y/n]: (y/n) Please answer with y or n : y (:TITLE "La Peste" :ARTIST "" :RATING 5 :RIPPED T) It seems that for every one newline I enter two are sent. Is there something I can configure to fix it? I've tried running SLIME with my existing emacs and clisp and also with the versions compiled as part of the lisp-in-a-box package. I get the same problem either way. Alex
