I don't know, but I'll bet whatever is done will include emacs-type
editing commands, just as Allegro Common Lisp for the Mac now has. I
for one am less than pleased about this, because you are denied access
to the special characters available in most Mac fonts (which you get
with the option key, codes above 128).  Very naturally, option is used
for the meta key, but it presents this un-Mac-ish difficulty.  Anybody
have a solution?
