In the non-free version, it would by passing the command-line argument
"-tty" to the executable. E.g., running

   /Applications/LispWorks5.1/LispWorks.app/Contents/MacOS/lispworks-5-1-0-macos-universal
-tty

I can confirm that this doesn't work with the Personal Edition (at
least on 10.5/PPC). I.e.,

   /Applications/LispWorks\ Personal\ 5.1/LispWorks\
Personal.app/Contents/MacOS/lispworks-personal-5-1-1-macos-universal
-tty

gives me the normal environment. The reason I chime in is because when
I went to check if the documentation reflected this, and to my
surprise, the "-tty" flag isn't mentioned at all in:

   http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/lw51/LWUG/html/lwuser-429.htm#pgfId-891723

Now I'm curious as to whether my method of starting LW on the console
is officially supported/subject to breaking.  What's the official
answer?
