In the spirit of good documentation, I wrote a new version of my CLisp/
Emacs/SLIME install guide to include SBCL setup[2]. The biggest catch
I found was that on Windows XP, system environment variables aren't
updated until after a reboot. Other than that, it was extremely easy
to swap out CLisp for SBCL. If you already ran through my CLisp
guide[1], then you can have SBCL running in about 3 minutes (+ reboot
time). Please let me know how it goes and if there are any errors.
I appreciate any feedback - let me know what else it could use!
Thanks,
Peter

Hi Peter,
On Windows XP, changes to environmental variables are reflected when
starting a new dos box (cmd.exe).

The "DOS box" is command.com. There's no DOS in cmd.exe.

Well some of us adventurous souls are using the Windows Powershell.

You can use SETX from the Windows Resource Kit, google it (hint:
http://www.ss64.com/nt/setx.html)
The Windows Environment is stored in the Registry as a local user one,
or system.
As far as I know depending on where you are setting you need either only
to LOG-OFF, LOG-ON, or as you said restarting.
I wrote time ago an application for quickly editing the environment and
saving it - it's here:
http://www.ddag.org/ikolev/files/EnvironmentEditor.zip - the Win32
binary, and the C++ source code is included.
