I am running Debian (unstable branch) and am trying to get started
with Graham's ACL book.  If you just start up lisp and type (help),
CMUCL kindly tells you that you deserve to loose.

I just want to get into a top level inside emacs with ilisp so that I
can start learning as quickly as my feeble mind will allow.  I will
also want to be able to create .lisp text files along the way and save
my own lisp core images (or whatever) for learning.

What do I need in my .emacs file?  What else do I need?  I believe I
have all the necessary debs installed.

I am not totally helpless.  I didn't make my subject line 'HELP!'.
Please, please help me.  Graham's intro and Kent Pitman's articles (one
of his Parenthetically Speaking articles in particular) have me
convinced that I really want to learn Lisp.

I need to become one with the dev tools.

TIA

Check this site for pointers on running cmucl on linux with emacs and

This looks very promising.  Thanks a bunch.

David said he is running Debian sid. Start Emacs. M-x cmulisp and he's
running CMUCL in Emacs using ILISP.

Now that is useful knowing.  I'm an emacs user, and have just started 
fooling around with lisp, using indifferently CLISP and CMUCL - I like 
CLISP's command line editing BTW - send flames to /dev/null - and I was 
wondering how to make use of either in emacs ...

A big thank you!

M-p and M-n navigate through history items in emacs. Many more
shortcuts are available; try "M-x describe-mode" when in the ILISP
buffer to see a summary.

Or C-UpArrow, C-DownArrow in the Common Lisp listener buffer.

I wonder if I should see if the 'describe kitchen-sink' command
works.

So, did I do harm by copying the ilisp.emacs file into my .emacs file?
Once I did that, M-x cmulisp did what I expected.
