I know next to nothing about terminals. My .profile says TERM=xterm.

$ echo $TERM
xterm

I really am running PuTTY on Windows and logging in to a FreeBSD system.

When I invoke ``rlwrap sbcl'', I get a little bug:

--8<-------------------------------------------------------->8---
$ rlwrap sbcl
This is SBCL 2.4.9, an implementation of ANSI Common Lisp.
More information about SBCL is available at <http://www.sbcl.org/>.

SBCL is free software, provided as is, with absolutely no warranty.
It is mostly in the public domain; some portions are provided under
BSD-style licenses. See the CREDITS and COPYING files in the
distribution for more information.
* (f(format t "hello~%")
hello
NIL
--8<-------------------------------------------------------->8---

Of course, I typed

(format t "hello~%")

but we end up seeing

(f(format t "hello~%")

If I type

(write-string "hello")

we end up with

* (w(write-string "hello")
hello
"hello"

You get the idea. This doesn't happen with other programs. It seems to
be something specific to sbcl, though I could hardly believe that sbcl
is guilty of anything here.

Any remedies?

What terminal emulations does Putty support? Try vt100.
