ok i cant get slime going so installed Lispbox instead which is slime
in emacs running independently.
buut when i run it i get the REPL but no editwindow. i tried to do
this:
http://common-lisp.net/project/slime/doc/html/Multithreading.html#Multithreading
but it didnt work.
using lispbox, how do i create another thread so i can write ina
buffert and test in the toplevel and have both running at the same
time? inside the same emacswindow? an somehow run functions from a
thread directly into the toplevel without copy-paste?
right now i run emacs and lispbox side-by-side and that works ofc but
i prefer it all in one emacswindow.

REPL and buffer can share single connection, without any threads or
whatever.
or do you want to work with lisp in buffer _while_ you're running some
lengthy computations in REPL?
or having multiple REPLs?

what do you mean by "thread" here?
g> right now i run emacs and lispbox side-by-side
i thought lispbox IS emacs, so you run two emacses?
what does that buy you??

if you _really_ need multithreading (it looks more like you've just lost in
terminology), you should get a lisp implementation that supports it -- afair
SBCL does not support multithreading under Windows.
i guess commercial implementation like Lispworks or Allegro will be best for
you -- they have free versions for personal use, they support multithreading
(to some extent), and they are less confusing than Emacs.
alternatively you can try ABCL.
