Hi Slimers,

I'm sure I saw a posting on the net somewhere on how to do this but all the Googling I've done over the past half day or so has failed to find it. Here is what I want to do:

On OS X run both OpenMCL and SBCL in their own slime sessions (each having its own *inferior-lisp*). When I do M-x slime, have OpenMCL come up as the default. When I do M-x slime-openmcl start slime with openmcl or a new openmcl session When I do M-x slime-sbcl start slime with SBCL or a new SBCL session

I keep up with CVS HEAD.

Here's what I've got so far in my .emacs:

;;; SLIME & Lisp (add-to-list 'load-path "/Users/david/usr/src/slime") (require 'slime) (setq common-lisp-hyperspec-root "file:///Users/david/LispStuff/HyperSpec/") ;; Safari only works on Carbon Emacs (do-applescript) (setq browse-url-browser-function (lambda (url &optional new-window) (message url) (do-applescript (concat "tell application "Safari" to open location "" url """)))) (setenv "SBCL_HOME" "/Users/david/usr/lib/sbcl/") (setq lisp-sbcl "/Users/david/usr/bin/sbcl") (setq lisp-openmcl "/Users/david/usr/bin/openmcl") (setf inferior-lisp-program lisp-sbcl) (setq slime-edit-definition-fallback-function 'find-tag) (slime-setup :autodoc t) (global-set-key "\C-cs" 'slime-selector)

Unrelated to SLIME per se, but useful for editing Lisp code I also have:

;;; Local Emacs customizations for Lisp editing and whatever (add-to-list 'load-path "/Users/david/usr/share/emacs") ; third party .el files be here (keyboard-translate ?( ?[) (keyboard-translate ?[ ?() (keyboard-translate ?) ?]) (keyboard-translate ?] ?))

;; Riastradh of irc.freenode.net #lisp created paredit.el for Lisp editing ;; available from http://www.bloodandcoffee.net/campbell/paredit.el (require 'paredit) (autoload 'enable-paredit-mode "paredit" "Turns on pseudo-structural editing of Lisp code." t) (add-hook 'lisp-mode-hook 'enable-paredit-mode) (define-key paredit-mode-map "[" 'paredit-open-list) (define-key paredit-mode-map "]" 'paredit-close-list)

I believe the keyboard translations were first proposed by Marco Baringer. Taylor Campbell wrote paredit.el. I've only recently started to use it, but it is pretty nifty.
