I'm a newbie to the group so be gentle. I'm using clisp 2.31 and
running it as an inferior list under the X version of GNU emacs 21.3.1.
Often up pops the following annoying message in the middle of my lisp
code:
Help (abbreviated :h) = this list
Use the usual editing capabilities
(quit) or (exit) leaves CLISP
Does anyone know where this comes from? It's very annoying to have to
backspace over all that text and resume coding where I left off. TIA.

I just tried running clisp stand-alone and was bombarded with the same
message every time I hit the tab key. Clearly there's something about
clisp that I don't understand. Does anyone know how to get rid of that
message? -- david

Launch it with the option: -I

Have Emacs launch clisp -I
E.g. (setq inferior-lisp-program "clisp -I") M-x run-lisp
-- depending on how you setup Emacs!!

Note that using -I disables readline's symbol completion, which is
quite nice for editing interactively (but mostly useless when editing
from within Emacs, because Emacs typically sends data to Lisp one line
at a time).
To avoid seeing thie text but still using clisp with readline within a
console, I recommend you stop using TAB characters in source files.
Please Investigate `indent-tabs-mode' in Emacs. Then, copy&paste from
the editor into the console wil not include TABs, and clisp's readline
won't display the help text. You get the best of both worlds.
Note also that SLIME provides symbol completion for CL within Emacs.

You should configure it to launch clisp with the option -I
It pops up like that when you send a TAB character to clisp.
