This sometimes happens to me in an EMACS buffer (either on UNIX or the
Amiga). I suppose that EMACS sometimes sends a newline that is read by
CLISP. When CLISP gets a newline, it does not recognize abort, unwind
and the others until the next prompt (e.g. type () + Return, get a new
prompt and then type abort). I can't predict when it happens and it's
rather annoying.

Define one, for example "a" (look at user1.lsp:(commands1)).

To R. Shepherd:
EOF is not doing an abort, it's doing a continue when there's one, so
it's not always the same.
