I guess I should have been a little more specific.  I really want a  
Mac-style editor, i.e. one where I can use the mouse to position the  
cursor and select text, cmd-X/C/V to cut and paste, etc.  I also want  
to be able to double-click on a close-paren to select an S- 
expression, and be able to press ENTER to evaluate a selection and  
have the result appear in a separate listener window.  AFAIK, Slime 
+Emacs won't do all that.  But I must confess I have not actually  
tried it.  Maybe I'll do that while I'm waiting for Leopard to be  
released :-)

Another thing that would be handy in the short term is to get openMCL  
to work with gnu readline.  Has anyone done that?
