As maintainer of this package, it is GCL, not clisp based.  What is
the persistent history feature?  readline command-line editing and
associated command history are enabled by default on capable
terminals, e.g. vt100 and xterm.  They are disabled by necessity on
incapable terminals such as emacs shell buffers.  :lisp
(si::readline-on) should tell you the whole story.

Take care,
