Subject: [chicago-lisp] Greetings from Seattle
Message-ID: <OOEALCJCKEBJBIJHCNJDGEBHIAAB.vanevery@indiegamedesign.com>

Hi, I'm in Seattle.  I co-run a group called SeaFunc, for Seattle
functional programmers.  We are a merger of local Lisp and ML groups.
We figured we had better survival odds together than separate.  We have
a mailing list:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SeaFunc/

I find it useful to stay coordinated with other user groups as they tend
to have similar problems of organization, member retention, and growth.
So hello!


Cheers,                     www.indiegamedesign.com

Hi Lispers,
I'm a total Lisp newbie working my way through the new Practical Common Lisp 
book and I've encountered an odd problem. Using these functions:

(defun prompt-read (prompt)
(format *query-io* "~a: " prompt)
(force-output *query-io*)
(read-line *query-io*))

(defun prompt-twice()
(prompt read (prompt-read "hello"))

Running this on the REPL: (prompt-twice)

Gives me the following output:
hello: hi
hi:

""
NIL

The program exits before I have a change to enter anything on the hi: line. 
Any Lisp guys out there wanna set me straight? I'm using Lisp in a Box on 
Suse 9.2 Pro.

Thanks,
PJ

I think somebody reported a similar problem on slime-devel.  Apparently
the solution was to update Slime.

I'm copying Peter on this this so he can test it and update his Slime in
LispBox as appropriate.

  Hi Lispers,
  I'm a total Lisp newbie working my way through the new Practical Common Lisp book and I've encountered an odd problem. Using these functions:

  (defun prompt-read (prompt)
    (format *query-io* "~a: " prompt)
    (force-output *query-io*)
    (read-line *query-io*))

  (defun prompt-twice()
    (prompt read (prompt-read "hello"))

  Running this on the REPL: (prompt-twice)

  Gives me the following output:
  hello: hi
  hi:

  ""
  NIL

  The program exits before I have a change to enter anything on the hi: line. Any Lisp guys out there wanna set me straight? I'm using Lisp in a Box on Suse 9.2 Pro.
Works fine on Allegro and LispWorks.
