dont apologize, i wish i had more time -- im acting chair this  
semester and its a black hole in terms of my ability to get anything

i think if you upgrade to a newer clisp you will be fine. i just  
tested in clisp 2.35

	pinhead:/lisp/cm hkt$ clisp --version
	GNU CLISP 2.35 (2005-08-29) (built on ppc-osx2.cf.sourceforge.net  
[10.8.5.41])

	pinhead:/lisp/cm hkt$ cm -l clisp
	[1]>
	; CM install directory: "/Lisp/cm/"
	; Compiling "src/pkg.lisp"
	...

that is normal for cmucl.  however, once it compiles the files then  
you wont see the messages next time you start.

the old script shielded you from the chatty compilers, the new  
version pretty much just lets asdf and the lisp you are using do what  
it wants to do.  but once you compile the source files you should not  
see the messages each time you start cm

if you want to use cmucl you might try compiling your adamcm2.cm to  
see if that will stop cmucl frrom its useless printout. or you can  
gag cmucl messaging in your .cminit.lisp file, or simply switch to a  
different lisp.
