I tried to use xemacs as a lisp ide using slime. i referred to slime and xemacs' inbuilt info documentation but still haven't succeeded in configuring it properly.
O.K, you need to go to the .xemacs/init.el and do this :
;;; The SBCL binary and command-line arguments (add-to-list 'load-path "~/slime/") ; your SLIME directory (setq inferior-lisp-program "/usr/bin/sbcl" lisp-indent-function 'common-lisp-indent-function ) ; your Lisp system (require 'slime) (slime-setup)
you replace sbcl with any lisp you are using and give the directory into which you installed slime.
Try this and then restart your xemacs.
Since this topic may not be of interest to all, I am putting in a description of my efforts so far in an attachment so that it can be ignored (instead of being flamed) more conveniently.
With people spreading FUD about the golden greats of Computer Science its good to visit their era :-)
