I found the old thread below, but unfortunately the solution isn't working for me. If I have a foo.clj file in a buffer and evaluate region on
(defn foo [] (+ 1 2)) I get #'user/foo in the minibuffer. If I then evaluate region on (foo) I get 3 in the minibuffer. The slime REPL is giving me a prompt user> so I'm assuming it's in the user namespace, but I can't seem to get expressions from the text buffer to evaluate in there.
