Yes, I was directly typing in the REPL. I think Slimv may have been the thing I'm missing. When I'm back to my laptop I will give it a shot. Thanks!

I would type into a REPL, but not in a terminal. Typically one would run a REPL inside an editor or something similar. The tool to run a REPL is usually called a "Listener" in Lisp. For example I would use GNU Emacs, call SLIME and use a SLIME REPL.
Lisp development in a terminal, without an editor, is not so helpful.
