Hello:
    I have several versions of xlisp 2.1, the most recent being the one
    updated by Tom Almy.  I am running it under several versions of Unix 
    (SunOS, System V, BSD 4.3), and they all have the same common problem.  
    They don't show the current level of nesting.
    ie:
    if i type
    >(setq a '(a b c)
    it should say
    1>
    however, it doesn't, it just shows nothing...
    also a return at the > prompt should return with another >, that
    doesn't do the job either:

    here is the head of the unixstuff.c
