[CM] Common Music on Windows

there is no REPL in Grace or GraceCL, you eval from text buffers. This  
was a design decision on our part, repls are pretty old fashioned and  
cause non-expert users a lot of problems -- unread input on unbalance  
parens, entering a uselesss debugger, and so on.  You can, of course,  
run CM in Slime and Emacs and get a repl.  I work in emacs quite a bit  
and have to throw out my slime repl several times a day due to it  
getting wedged for one reason or another.

not sure what thats about. what lisp is this? if you really want the  
hardcore repl experience you can just use the Windows console: start  
clisp from the console and type:

	(load "/path/to/cm/src/cm.lisp")
