Hello,
I'm using Slime with Allegro 8 on Windows. Is it possible to use Allegro's find definition and have the relevant file open in Emacs?
Thanks in advance, Tom Weissmann

I'm not sure what you mean with "Allegro's find definition". I'm also not very familiar with neither Allegro nor Windows, so you may get a better answer if you ask a more specific question.
Slime does support a form of a find-definition command, it's usually bound to M-. That command uses Allegro specific code. I think, it works decently. There may be Windows specific problems, e.g. a Cygwin-based Emacs may interpret filenames wrongly, but I'm not aware of actual problems.

Sorry: what I want is to use the Allegro IDE's find definition and have it open the files in Emacs.
The Franz Emacs-Lisp interface does this, but it only supports one connection to lisp per Emacs.

SLIME doesn't support that out of the box. Perhaps you can customize Franz' IDE so that it calls swank:ed-in-emacs in some way.
