Clisp+Emacs

GNU CLISP 2.26 (released 2001-05-23)

Let's say that my emacs file is like this:

;;start
(set-language-environment "Latin-1")
(setq inferior-lisp-program "clisp.bat")
;; clisp.bat is the usual stuff
;; see clisp.cons.org for references
;;end

Then any clisp debugging goes like this:

[1]> (step (+ 1 2))
step 1 --> (+ 1 2)
Step 1 [2]> :s
:S
Step 1 [2]> step
*** - EVAL: variable STEP has no value
1. Break [3]> abort
Step 1 [2]>

Very annoying indeed.
Just by removing (set-language-environment "Latin-1")
from my .emacs file makes clisp "debug as
advertised"  :)

This means that clisp acts in different ways
inside a "ms-dos box" and inside an emacs shell or
inferior-lisp 

Why?

Excuse my bad english :)
