Follow-up to my own message : I think I have solved my problem. LWW with IDE can be started from XEmacs provided that you do the following: - dump an LWW image with these parameters: (in-package "CL-USER") (load-all-patches) (save-image (merge-pathnames (make-pathname :name "lispworks-4307-mp") (lisp-image-name)) :multiprocessing t :console :io :environment :with-tty-listener :remarks "LispWorks 4.3.7") (quit) - use this function to start it from xemacs: (defun lw-start () (interactive) (let ((process-connection-type nil) (mswindows-start-process-share-console nil) (windowed-process-io t) (inferior-lisp-program "c:/Progra~1/Xanalys/Lispworks/lispworks-4307-mp.exe")) (slime))) I'd like people to confirm that it works for them.
