I don't know about the Mac, but on my PC clone, I run lisp in
conjunction with Sidekick.  This works very well.  I use the Sidekick's
Notepad as an editor to select edit and save files, and then paste any
section of the working file into lisp to operate.  The file and the
operating version of lisp are just a keystroke apart.  Any displayed
output from lisp can be cut and pasted into the work file, if that is
desired.

I tried Sidekick Plus but found that it took more memory and was less
convenient to use.  Windows could also be used, but it is less powerful
as an editor, uses much more space, and I find it more cumbersome than
Sidekick.  So of the three, the original Sidekick works best!
