I use CMUCL on an old P133. Generally, I don't use X.
Instead, I run CMU on one virtual console, and Emacs
on another to edit code. 

I'm currently using rlwrap, which I find unacceptable.
While it does its job well after it is loaded, I find
that it takes a very long time to load up rlwrap
with a .lisp_completions file that has over 20k
entries.

Furthermore, rlwrap doesn't know anything about the
insides of my Lisp session. If I LOAD a file with
definitions in it, I want to be able to complete on
them, without having to type them in first. 

To this end, I have developed a function, which I call
READ-LINE*. READ-LINE* is a read-line work-alike for
CMU, which provides line-editting, history, and
completions. I started writing this before I learned
of LINEDIT, so I completed it anyhow. 

What I'd like to know is -- now that I have my own
READ-LINE, what can I do to make the CMU REPL and
debugger use my input routine?
