  • xterm rlwrap sbcl

    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/>.

    * (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?

    What terminal emulations does Putty support? Try vt100.
