[slime-devel] color of returned values in slime-repl

[Joshua Moody]

I am using slime with Aquamacs Emacs on a G4 laptop and a dual G5 tower.

On my G4 laptop when I eval in the slime-repl, the results are  
presented as red colored text.

If I pass my mouse over the results, they *appear* to be some kind of  
clickable link - the entire contents of the return value becomes  
surrounded by a box, each line of the value is underlined, and the  
mouse pointer turns into a gloved hand with a pointed finger.   
Additionally, if I have output going to the *inferior-lisp* buffer  
(for instance if I have separate process printing information to the  
buffer) and I pass my mouse over the return value, it appears to  
pulse in step with the printing of lines in the *inferior-lisp*  
buffer.  If I highlight the return value region, the highlighting  
also pulses.

Ordinarily, I'd say this was an Aquamacs Emacs + slime issue, but on  
my G5 tower return values in the slime-repl appear as black colored  
text and none of this strange link-like behavior occurs.

I use the same .emacs and customizations.el (Aquamacs Emacs specific  
file) files on both machines.  I'm nearly positive that slime is the  
same version (not the most recent from cvs - probably 2.0 something)  
on the two machines.  My colleagues with G4 laptops also have the  
same behavior with similar slime + Aquamacs Emacs setups (who knows  
what versions of slime they are using).  Aquamacs Emacs (0.9.8) is  
definitely the same for all of us.

Is anyone else familiar with this behavior?  Any tips for changing  
the color of return values in the slime-repl?

Thanks,
