Backslashes in strings need to be escaped with backslashes.

CL-USER(2): (length "a\b")
2
CL-USER(3): (length "a\\b")
3

By the way, it is probably easier to use abbreviations: go to the
current directory using ":cd" and the compile-and-load the file using
":cl":

CL-USER(7): :cd d:\Fahiem\     ;; no need to escape the backslashes here
d:\Fahiem\
CL-USER(8): :cl testing   ;; looks up testing.lisp
..

Type ":help" to get a list of top-level commands, or see the docs:
