I've just recently tried out SLIME on Windows and think it's really neat. (I posted a comment on my weblog a few days ago at: http://home.comcast.net/~bc19191/blog/040229.html )
Thank you for the kind words in the article. We should probably make a link from our Cliki pages.

(load "c:/usr/home/site/slime/swank-loader.lisp") (swank::create-swank-server 4005)
Is this typical or is there some better approach?
The normal way to start Lisp is M-x slime. Is there a reason you can't use that?

Is there some alternative way to connect to an already started lisp process or am I just doing something wrong?
We used to close the server socket when the connection was established. The latest version has a DONT-CLOSE argument and you should now be able to reconnect if you start it with:
(swank:create-swank-server 4005 :spawn #'swank::simple-announce-function t)
[I will probably switch to keyword arguments in the future or add a new function]
And in case it wasn't obvious, there should never be a need to disconnect. That would be is a bug and I'd like hear about it.
Helmut.
