Actually, I just discovered that the "format" statement does work
correctly if I use the default Lispbox setup, which ignores my .emacs
file, but does not work if set it up to use my .emacs file.

Here is the relevant code for invoking SLIME with CLISP and Clojure:

>;; Setup for Clojure
>(add-to-list 'load-path "C:/Program Files/Clojure Box/swank-clojure")
>(require 'swank-clojure-autoload)
>(swank-clojure-config
> (setq swank-clojure-jar-path "C:/Program Files/Clojure Box/clojure/clojure-1.0.0.jar")

>(setq inferior-lisp-program "C:/bin/clisp-2.45/full/lisp.exe
>-B C:/bin/clisp-2.45/full
>-M C:/bin/clisp-2.45/full/lispinit.mem
>-ansi -q")
>(add-to-list 'load-path "C:/bin/emacs/site-lisp/slime/")
>(require 'slime)
>(slime-setup '(slime-fancy slime-asdf slime-banner))

Any ideas on what could be wrong?
