Well. I am not sure whose problem this is exactly, but for me the
problem seems to be with something (i.e. either XEmacs or Clisp[1]) not
flushing pipe buffers correctly. The patch below "fixes" the problem
for me. I can run Clisp now and evaluate "(+ 1 2)", define a function
and have it complete the function name in a call.
Thanks. I will put it in with a conditional.
I have no idea where the concat problems come from, I did not see
them.
Ok.

P.S. I have the feeling ilisp could do with a few '(defstruct's.
You are *RIGHT*! Most Elisp packages could use more DEFSTRUCTs. And
ILISP is no exception. As you may noticed I slipped in a "(require 'cl)"
in the package :) Apart from that, a rewriting of a lot of ILISP
is quite an undertaking and I do not have that much time to tackle it.
Here is one thing that I'd like to see. Actually, let's have a
REQUEST FOR IMPLEMENTATION for it. :) Next message.
Footnotes:
[1] My guess would be XEmacs. It seems suspiciously like the process
bug on NT that makes it fail to recognize the end of ftp transfers
under efs.
I wouldn't be surprised.
