The various problems related with using COMPLR, SCHEME, etc
while supduping into MIT-EECS turn out not to be MacLISP's fault;
I've spent many hours tracking this down, and finally have some
proof that the EE version of VTS support is buggy. Eric Ostrom
has just told me that there are other known bugs in it, and it
will probably be de-installed in a week or so.
Anticipating the loss of VTS, I'll have a lisp-written version
of the cursorpos function which will work for several common terminals
(VT52, VT100, HEATH, C100, and maybe a few others), and also a generalized
"rubout" processor such has become common recently. Relevant files on
MIT-MC are JONL;LCURSO >, LIBDOC;TERMTY DAT, NILCOM;THREAD >, and
NILCOM;RUBOUT >. This stuff is currently under hacking/development
so isn't yet ready for use.
