Does anyone know if this book covers multiprocessing or gui
programming on the lispm's? Is there a review or TOC that I can look
at?

_Lisp Lore_ by Bromley/Lamson

Thanks for any help.

Chapter 6 (User Interface) covers ui programming.  Chapter 7 has an 
example of graphing, Chapter 9 has a calculator example, and chapter 11 
has a card game example.

The first section of chapter 4 (More on Navigating the Lisp Machine)
covers the scheduler and processes.

A better reference for these kinds of things, for Symbolics anyway,
would be the extensive Symbolics documentation (which was delivered
in a hypertext format, or in printed form - about 5 feet thick.)
I think the book you're looking for is called "Internals".
To obtain this, I would suggest contacting either Symbolics, 
or anyone who has a Symbolics Lisp Machine.

"Lisp Lore" deals with Symbolics LispMs.  If you are also interested
in TI Explorers, you can get a truckload of documentation about them,
including coverage of multiprocessing and GUI programming, at the
Minicomputer Orphanage.
