Yes I think you are right. I forgot to mention to Martin that *in addition* to disabling readline, when I used to run gcl with the Axiom interface in Sage I also changed the line 'command = ...' to run AXIOMsys directly. So from what you say, Martin should be able to get sbcl (and ecl) to work just by making this change. As I recall, another minor change to 'axiom.py' is necessary because starting AXIOMsys directly creates only one (1) -> prompt while running it from sman (via 'axiom ...') creates two initial prompts. This can cause initial synchronization problems. But of course one reason for wanting to call sman is to get Axiom graphics and hyperdoc - at least in in the 'axiom.console()' mode. Even though in the current implementation of 'fricas-1.0.3.p0.spkg' the X support must be disabled for compatibility with the version of clisp that is included with Sage, one can in principle obtain this by compiling Fricas outside of Sage.
