        Ok!

        Hum... that seems to be the case here, too... Does that mean I
have a properly-installed SBCL? Joy!

        Yup. Could even be that I had forgotten to re-load slime; I'm
in the habit of keeping my Emacs running for months. I started up a
fresh XEmacs, and slime works like a charm.

        Now that I have actually been able to play aound a little with
SLIME, I have just one thing to say: AWESOME. I don't normally use
font-lock, but I *may* have to start using it (with SLIME, at least).
