<pre wrap="">Hi.
Sorry if this these are old issues already. I just recently became a
subscriber to this list.
I've been using SLIME a few years on Linux, and it was fine, and
actually set up by others.
Recently, I tried setting it up on Windows by myself. Not so smooth.
I followed the basic documentation, which was basically
(require 'slime)
(slime-setup)
But that did not start a REPL, but just the *inferior-lisp* buffer.
After a while,
I looked around, and I found some "chatter" about having to do
(require 'slime-fancy)
(slime-setup).
That almost worked in XEmacs, and did work in GNU Emacs. Is that really
what
the average user is supposed to do?
</pre>
</blockquote>
<pre wrap=""><!---->No, you it should've been (slime-setup '(slime-fancy))
</pre>
</blockquote>
Right, sorry about that, I meant <br>
<br>
(require 'slime)<br>
(slime-setup '(slime-fancy))<br>

<pre wrap="">The main doc on installation pointed to from here:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://common-lisp.net/project/slime/">http://common-lisp.net/project/slime/</a>
which doc is here:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://common-lisp.net/project/slime/doc/html/Installation.html#Installation">http://common-lisp.net/project/slime/doc/html/Installation.html#Installation</a>
says this is what you should do:
(require 'slime)
(slime-setup)
I.e., the first thing I tried. So, is the basic doc wrong? What's the
deal?

<pre wrap=""><!---->The deal is that it's not loaded by default. Don't ask me why.

OK, but what's the deal with the documentation? Also, why would anyone
just do (slime-setup) if<br>
it doesn't even cause M-x slime to start a REPL? Is it "slime" if
you're just using the *inferior-lisp*??<br>
