Thanks for the response. I'm getting used to XEmacs at the same time learning about Lisp, so this is probably a newbie question.
I've set up my XEmacs, Gnu Lisp, and Slime as documented here: http://db.glug-bom.org/wiki/index.php/Using_XEmacs_as_a_lisp_shell
I can get to the REPL using M-x slime and I can successfully run commands such as
(+ 2 3)
5
However, when trying to open a file buffer, so I can write libraries/save work/etc, I try it using C-x C-f, give it a file name, and enter lisp code. When I try to compile using C-c C-c or C-c C-k, I get "Not connected" Also, the minibuffer is also always filled with the line: Polling "C:\Documen~\zcalver\Locals~1\Temp\slime.5876".. (Abort with 'M-x slime-abort-connection'.)
When I try defining a hello world function and running the compile command, I can barely see this "Not connected" line, which is promptly covered up by the Polling line listed above.
First, how do I get rid of that obnoxious polling line? Second off, how do I open a buffer that will allow me to write libraries and such to a file and then compile them/load them for use in the REPL?
Thanks bunches, Zach Calvert

You can ask any Slime related question to here. We try to be helpful, but answering newbie questions and hand-holding takes quite a bit of time, so don't be upset if not all questions are answered.
I'm not aware of any other Slime mailing list, but you can try your luck at the #lisp IRC channel.
