I know next to nothing about terminals. My .profile says TERM=xterm.
$ echo $TERM
xterm
I really am running PuTTY on Windows and logging in to a FreeBSD system.
When I invoke ``rlwrap sbcl'', I get a little bug:
--8<-------------------------------------------------------->8---
$ rlwrap sbcl
This is SBCL 2.4.9, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp.
More information about SBCL is available at <
http://www.sbcl.org/>.
SBCL is free software, provided as is, with absolutely no warranty.
It is mostly in the public domain; some portions are provided under
BSD-style licenses. See the CREDITS and COPYING files in the
distribution for more information.
* (f(format t "hello~%")
hello
NIL
--8<-------------------------------------------------------->8---
Of course, I typed
(format t "hello~%")
but we end up seeing
(f(format t "hello~%")
If I type
(write-string "hello")
we end up with
* (w(write-string "hello")
hello
"hello"
You get the idea. This doesn't happen with other programs. It seems to
be something specific to sbcl, though I could hardly believe that sbcl
is guilty of anything here.
Any remedies?
