in .emacs i have put:
(setq inferior-lisp-program "c:/users/rob/documents/sbcl/sbcl.exe -
core c:/users/rob/documents/sbcl/sbcl.core")
(require 'slime)
(slime-setup)
i get error when starting emacs:
("C:\\Emacs\\emacs-22.2\\bin\\emacs.exe")
Loading encoded-kb...done

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file. Start Emacs with
the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error backtrace.

\223 is in red, why is it even there?

You probably have some unbalanced quote " upstream in the file. That
makes it think that the (setq infe....... " is all a string and the
c:/users/.... is some sexp.

I don't think copying and pasting code from that page to your .emacs
file verbatim will work because the string delimiters aren't normal
ASCII ones; instead they are character LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK and
RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK respectively.

Which is why emacs sees a symbol here:
>> Symbol's value as variable is void: .c:/users/rob/documents/sbcl/
>> sbcl.exe
and of course it can't find any value for that symbol.
Random character that can be a symbol constituent: .
Double quote used to read strings: "
Notice the difference, copy and paste the form in *scratch*:
'(?\. ?\")
and with the point after it, type C-u C-x C-e

Cuxe invokes the debugger yes but:
(setq inferior-lisp-program 'c:/users/rob/documents/sbcl/sbcl.exe –
>core c:/users/rob/documents/sbcl/sbcl.core")
(require ’slime)
(slime-setup)
still gave the same error when starting. what do you mean by "the
point after it"?

i dont get it. cant you just alter the text instead just much easier
than tryong to explain with weird quotes.
(setq inferior-lisp-program 'c:/users/rob/documents/sbcl/sbcl.exe
œôòó>core c:/users/rob/documents/sbcl/sbcl.core")
(require 'slime)
(slime-setup)
i pase that then Cuxe?

C-u C-x C-e will only evaluate one form.
'x is equivalent to (quote x) and does not read a string.
Try to use double-quotes for strings.
(setq inferior-lisp-program "c:/users/rob/documents/sbcl/sbcl.exe --core c:/users/rob/documents/sbcl/sbcl.core")
(require 'slime)
(slime-setup)
Either you evaluate each for one by one, moving in turn the cursor on
the end of each line and typing C-x C-e, (or C-u C-x C-e if you want
the result be inserted in the current buffer), or select all these
forms, and type M-x eval-region RET.
But note that require won't load twice the same library, so it's
useless to evaluate it more than once, and I guess it's the same with
slime-setup. At least, you can change the value of
inferior-lisp-program without having to re-run slime-setup.

Because the author of emacs has some typography envy complex and wants
to try to render nice typographic quotes on an ASCII terminal. But it
shouldn't bother you, only to be careful not to copy random characters
from random sources, but of course to always use ASCII double-quote,
code 34, for strings.
You still have one of these random characters in your .emacs, just
before c:/users/rob/documents/sbcl/sbcl.exe This is what this message
says to you:
> Symbol's value as variable is void: .c:/users/rob/documents/sbcl/sbcl.exe
Delete this random character, and replace it with a normal ASCII
double-quote. Check that the closing quote is also a normal ASCII
double-quote, and try again.
It's easy to see the difference:
(format "%d" ?\.) --> "147"
(format "%d" ?\") --> "34"
Another way, is to position the cursor over the character, and to type
C-x = This will display in the minibuffer the ASCII code of that
character. If it's not 34, then delete it and type in an ASCII
double-quote, code 34.
You just cannot hope to be able to program in most programming
languages if you are not able to enter a double-quote, this ASCII
character is used in almost all of them.
Also, you would be well advised to choose a font where these small
glyphs are very distinct, as well as some other like 1l| or O0, etc.
