I have had no luck so far getting ilisp to work and I wondered if the
problem might be my Emacs version. The documentation says that it works
with Emacs 20, but I have 21.2. Do I need to downgrade to 20.7? I find
for example that with the ilisp hooks in my .emacs, basic things like M-x
shell and C-h v no longer work, because whatever I type in the minibuffer
just gives me "no match". I have ilisp version 5.11.

With Emacs 21.x you should use the CVS version of ILISP. 5.11 won't
work AFAIK.

Version 5.11 works with Emacs 21.x for me, but I had to add

(setq ilisp-*prefix-match* t)

to my .emacs file.  Without this line I got precisely the problems
David describes.

That's handy to know!  I fixed things with ilisp and fsf emacs
21.1 by switching from 5.11 to the CVS version.

Thank you for the tip. I checked out the CVS version and things are much
better now.

Sorry for the newbie question, but I am not familiar with the 
intricacies of CVS. Is there an easy way to get the latest "CVS 
version", without laboriously downloading each file one at a time
from the CVS page on the Sourceforge site?

Thanks!

Yes, there is - RTFM... :)

See <http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=3957>. Basically, it's just 

  cvs ····················@cvs.ilisp.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ilisp login
  cvs -z3 ····················@cvs.ilisp.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ilisp co ILISP

in a directory of your choice. (This of course assumes that you have
cvs installed.)
