[slime-devel] Lisp is not ready for requests from the REPL, can it be any other way?

[Dirk Gerrits]

Hi.

I've noticed that when one's program is running, one is still free to 
use SLIME. However, attempting to evaluate an expression produces the 
message "Lisp is not ready for requests from the REPL". Pretty 
understandable, because Lisp can only do one thing at a time. But I was 
wondering if it is possible to 'fix' this. Ie I would like to be able to 
inspect variables and redefine functions etc. *while the program is 
running*. Can SLIME help me do this? Or should I post a question to 
comp.lang.lisp?

Thanks in advance,
