weird behavior

[bouma@PURDUE.EDU]

Could someone please explain to me the following behavior?

I have this form in my lispm-init file so that terminal 
windows will default to SUPDUP over TELNET.

(let ((protocol (neti:find-protocol-named :supdup)))
  (when protocol
    (setf (neti:protocol-desirability protocol) 0.9)))

Now if I login or just load file lispm-init my terminal
windows are still TELNET. However, if I load lispm-init
into the editor and compile the above form, then the
terminal window becomes SUPDUP.
