Greetings, and thanks for your report! Just a little note, Debian axiom will default to gcl's readline support in a genuine terminal, including tab completion. This can be disabled with (si::readline-off) at the lisp level. Unfortunately, readline cannot be made to work well with the sman i/o system, AFAICT. There are a few other bugs related to this. You can start axiom without sman and it should work for you.
