I have written some Emacs Lisp code extensions for running Common Lisp
(CL) as a subprocess in an Emacs buffer.  The source code is fairly
compact (only 4 files), well-commented, and easily extensible, and
requires no special code to be loaded into your Common Lisp world.
Features include direct (ie. not through a temp file) evaluation and
in-package compilation of forms from lisp-mode buffers with optional
echo into the *lisp* buffer, type-ahead with multi-line editing and a
history mechanism for the *lisp* buffer, and pop-up help facilities
for the CL functions documentation, macroexpand and describe.  I
provide a general mechanism for CL to send commands to Emacs, to
display strings in the minibuffer or pop-up help buffers, to insert
strings at the point, or to call any Emacs Lisp function.  There is an
additional file of extensions for Lucid Common Lisp which provide
pop-up arglists and source file editing, including a sort of buffer
menu to let the user choose from multiple definitions.  There are also
extensions to do source files correctly (ie, let the user choose which
method to edit) for FLAVORS or CLOS (PCL).

This code was designed to be compatible with any implementation of
Common Lisp -- the extensions for Lucid, FLAVORS, and PCL are only
loaded (automatically, at run time) if these features are present in
your CL environment.  The source code is available, subject to the
usual Emacs disclaimers, as a compressed tar file via anonymous ftp:

whitechapel.media.mit.edu : /pub/Emacs-cl-shell.tar.Z

A README file explains how to use the code.  I also include some
useful code from TMC which does completion on text you are typing.
Let me know if you grab a copy so I can notify you of future
releases/bug fixes.
