[Ilisp-help] Problem with shell

[Thom S. <tsc...@ad...>]

I'm trying to use XLisp as an Inferior process.
I'd prefer to use Tom Almy xlisp+ but I'm unable
to run any lisp binary under an Xemacs shell.
I'm running Xemacs 21.4 in an XP environment.

After issuing a shell, everything sems ok...

C:\XLisp+>dir
dir

no Lisp prompt is returned...

'1' does not evaluate, nor (+ 1 1),however,

(system "dir") returns
