Subject: How to view all the elements of a list with SLIME ?

Hello,

When SLIME (clisp) returns a long list, it does not display it fully
(using dots). Sometimes it is interesting to view the whole list even
if it is very long. In this case, I just wanted to be sure the
cross-product was right.
Do you know how to do it ? Maybe by customizing SLIME.

TIA,

Ludovic Kuty

CL-USER> (cross-product #'cons '(A B C D E F) '(1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8))
((A . 1) (B . 1) (C . 1) (D . 1) (E . 1) (F . 1) (A . 2) (B . 2) (C .
2)
 (D . 2) ...)
CL-USER> '(1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23
24 25 26 27 28 29 30)
(1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ...)

This is not a slime question, but a pure Common Lisp question:

[47]> (setf *print-pretty* t *print-length* 4  *print-depth* 2)
2
[48]> '((1 2 3 4 5 6 7) (1 2 3 (1 2 3 (1 2 3 4 5 6 7) 4 5 6 7) 4 5 6 7) (1 2 3 4 5 6 7))
((1 2 3 4 ...) (1 2 3 (1 2 3 (1 2 3 4 ...) ...) ...) (1 2 3 4 ...))
[49]> (setf *print-pretty* t *print-length* nil  *print-depth* nil)
NIL
[50]> '((1 2 3 4 5 6 7) (1 2 3 (1 2 3 (1 2 3 4 5 6 7) 4 5 6 7) 4 5 6 7) (1 2 3 4 5 6 7))
((1 2 3 4 5 6 7) (1 2 3 (1 2 3 (1 2 3 4 5 6 7) 4 5 6 7) 4 5 6 7)
 (1 2 3 4 5 6 7))
[51]>

Thanks.
Actually *print-depth* has no effect on the display in the little
examples I've tried. Don't knowwhy. But *print-level* works and the
output is replaced by a # when the list is too deep. I just found it
with Google.

CL-USER> (setf *print-pretty* t *print-length* 6  *print-level* 3)
3
CL-USER> '((1 ( 2 (3 4 5 6 7 8 9))) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10)
((1 (2 #)) 1 2 3 4 5 ...)

Probably because *print-depth* is no COMMON-LISP variable. (*^_^*)
Sorry for the confusion.
