Too much help



I'm a newbie to the group so be gentle. I'm using clisp 2.31 and running it as an inferior list under the X version of GNU emacs 21.3.1. Often up pops the following annoying message in the middle of my lisp code:

Help (abbreviated :h) = this list
Use the usual editing capabilities
(quit) or (exit) leaves CLISP

Does anyone know where this comes from? It's very annoying to have to backspace over all that text and resume coding where I left off. TIA. -- david parker
