That does ring a bell.  I'll check into it.

VIlisp, Emacs, or one of the commercial Lisps (most of which offer
evaluation versions) would probably be a better choice at this point.
Slim-vim is unstable and not well supported.  Brad Beveridge, the
primary coder, has defected to Emacs for most of his Lisping, and I
have about one hour a month to fiddle with slim-vim, and no one else
has stepped forward.  It sucks, but there it is.
