I've used TI Scheme when I was first learning LISP. Though it's quite different
from common lisp in a number of ways, it's also not a machine hog. The
documentation is quite good, esp. considering the price, but I recall it 
being mostly referential in nature. Consider getting a good Scheme tutorial
book.

I found that my Scheme knowledge transferred well when I started using
common lisp.
