The top level of xlisp is roughly: (loop (princ ">") (print (eval (read))) ) READ itself does no prompting, so you only get one prompt for each expression read. If you modified the line reading code in the *stuff file then all reading would be affected, not just that caused by READ. You would have to modify the READ code to get what you want.
