Finally, when you have installed SLIME, you may put the following lines in the file .emacs in your home directory:
(setq *femlisp-root* "PLEASE_INSERT_CORRECT_PATH/femlisp/")
(add-to-list 'load-path (concat *femlisp-root* "elisp"))
(require 'femlisp)
;;; for showing the SLIME buffer if it is hidden
(defun show-repl-maybe-start-slime ()
(interactive)
(if (slime-connected-p)
(slime-display-output-buffer)
(slime)))
(global-set-key [f9] 'show-repl-maybe-start-slime)
Now the Emacs command M-x femlisp should fire up SLIME and load Femlisp. Whenever your SLIME buffer is hidden, you can bring it up again by pressing F9.
