I have obtained the PC version. What is the best way to create code
using xlisp on the PC. Under Unix I can open up lisp as a subprocess of
emacs and copy and paste from buffer to buffer. Is there some kind of
editor I can use like this with Xlisp (pc version)?

Just use your favorite editor to write some code, then start xlisp and
load it with the (load "filename") command.
Or is it (load 'filename) ?
