Hi all, 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.
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.

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.

With people spreading FUD about the golden greats of Computer Science its good to visit their era :-)

Sheesh, the sheer fear that this LUG commands is amazing! :O Preemptive anti-flame-disclaimer... :P

Blind hero worship is stupid. Theorists have come and gone. Pragmatists make the Mumbai railway carry millions of people every day ;)

Since you put it that way, why don't you also be pragmatic and help him out in his Xemacs and Lisp persuit rather than give your theories on ``LUG fear" and ``hero worship".

Yeah, they have to travel in jam-packed coaches while breathing into each other's armpits. Wish someone would listen to theorists too.

And just as we stick our heads up in the crowd to breathe cleaner air, someone breaks wind and chokes everyone. :)

Yep, theorists would put people in hypothetical conditions in AC coaches with iPods and LCD displays playing movies. The trip from Virar to Churchgate would be a cool 5 minutes. And you would be theoretically paid a good $$$ but then you open your eyes and realize you're just hanging in gangway ;)

Right you are. Nowadays it is simply impossible to guess the theme of any mail in any thread by the name of the thread.
Anyway, I managed to configure XEmacs to act as a lisp shell. I have documented the procedure I followed on the wiki at: http://db.glug-bom.org/wiki/index.php/Using_XEmacs_as_a_lisp_shell
The doubt I still have is: With XEmacs installed what is the need to install lisp again? Isn't (X)Emacs itself one big lisp program being interpreted itself by a lisp interpreter? That assumption, in the first place drove me to using XEmacs to practise lisp.
Please enlighten me.

Resending, original probably bounced.
