Aquamacs can do this.

Aquamacs can probably do this.  Could you do this in Fred?  I don't

Aquamacs can probably do this - I use c-x c-c inside forms to compile  
and c-x c-e (or apple-e) to eval at the end of forms - just like  
Fred.  All it took was a few lines in my dotemacs file.

Aquamacs + SLIME is not Fred, but it is a tolerability approximation.
