Hi, I am now playing with "dribble" function.  However, it seems not
work as expected.

I use  Windows XP + CLISP+ slime + xemas. The following are the test
calls:

===============================================================
CL-USER> (dribble "d:/haha.txt")
#<OUTPUT BUFFERED FILE-STREAM CHARACTER #P"D:\\haha.txt">
CL-USER> (+ 2 3)
5
CL-USER> (dribble)
WARNING: Currently not dribbling from
          #<IO TWO-WAY-STREAM #<SWANK-BACKEND::SLIME-INPUT-STREAM
#x19F49FC5> #<SWANK-BACKEND::SLIME-OUTPUT-STREAM #x19F48025>>
         .
NIL
===============================================================

But when I open the "haha.txt", nothing's there. When I type
(exit)

to exit CLISP,
the "haha.txt"  has something as follows:

;; Dribble of #<IO TWO-WAY-STREAM #<SWANK-BACKEND::SLIME-INPUT-STREAM
#x19F49FC5> #<SWANK-BACKEND::SLIME-OUTPUT-STREAM #x19F48025>> started

Can anybody help? What happened to this wierd "dribble"?

thanks!
