Cool!  Eli - you are brilliant!

Actually, this _is_ the problem - you must put
(modify-coding-system-alist 'process "" 'unix)
into your .emacs (see emacs/clisp-coding.el in the next release).

The reason is that CLISP gets "STEP\r\n" instead of just "STEP\n"
if you do not set the coding system to 'unix.
