[Openmcl-devel] very newbie question: emacs and OpenMCL

[Rick Taube]

Assuming that you want to have an X/Emacs experience that is similar to
MCL's Listener/Fred experience, install the attached "listener.el" file and
follow the directions below. The "listener.el" file is built on top of
inf-lisp. It provides a dedicated Listener window (a "Frame" in Emacs-speak
that runs a repl) and a "Listener" menu for Lisp-Mode. You can install the
Listener in XEmacs or Emacs and use it with any lisp, even Guile.

1. Install "Emacs for OSX", for example the binary at:
    http://www.mindlube.com/products/emacs/
2. Put the attached file (listener.el) in some dir.
3. Add the following to your .emacs file, changing the listener-el and
   openmcl-cmd variables to reflect your file system.
4. Quit and restart X/Emacs to get the changes to .emacs in effect
   (or just eval your .emacs buffer again if you know how).
5. Set an edit buffer into Lisp-Mode by typing 'M-x: lisp-mode' or editing a
   .lisp file
6.  Select "Lisp Listener" from the "Listener" menu
    that appears in your X/Emacs menu bar (or type 'C-x: l')

and away you go.
