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

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.

You should configure it to launch clisp with the option -I
It pops up like that when you send a TAB character to clisp.
