Does anyone know how to suppress the

^M

at the end of every line in the slime repl on Windows?

This is with acl82m-win-x86.

In what exact situation does it happen?

1. Do you have the most recent Slime? 2. Are you using a dedicated output stream? 3. Is it output to *standard-output* or to another stream?

It seems, from a quick test, that:

CL-USER> (princ " " *terminal-io*)

prints a ^M when not using a dedicated output stream. The same happens to *query-io* and *debug-io*.

However, to *standard-output*, *error-output* and *trace-output*, it doesn't, either with or without a dedicated output stream.

It might have something to do with the bidirectional streams. For the short-term, try this in your ~/.swank.lisp:

(setf swank:*use-dedicated-output-stream* t)
