Can anyone suggest a good editor for editing Lisp (specifically
Scheme, since there are Java versions of it available, but I'd imagine
Scheme and Common Lisp have the same requirements in this context) in
Windows? Preferably a native Windows editor rather than a Unix port
(not Emacs please :)).
Thanks,

Well Emacs with Ilisp is the best available even on windows and a
Google search will show you how to ideally set it up. If you are using
Scheme, you could just download DrScheme and use that. Its a
pretty decent environment. There is also an editor called Jabberwocky
but I have'nt had luck with it and its written in *blech* Java.

Try DrScheme or EdScheme.

Well since you are looking for a Scheme editor you might also want to
try comp.lang.scheme, I'm sure they have their preferences for a good
Scheme editor.
Personally I prefer Emacs, yes even on windows, to pretty much
anything else I've tried. Out of curiosity, have you actually tried
to learn emacs, or do you simply not like it because you've heard it's
just a Unix port?

Yep, have done!

Fair enough.

The former.

Uhhh... It's not hard to use xemacs on windows. See
http://www.xemacs.org
It has a setup-like installer, and comes with many packages so that
you don't need to grab them manually.
You may also want unix tools for windows:
http://nicorey.free.fr/tools/
Just unpack it to a folder and put the path in environment variable
"PATH", before "%SystemRoot%\system32" or "C:\Windows\..." (it's
needed to override some CLI tools provided by windows, such as "find")
