You suggest getting another "top level" (i.e. Lisp read-eval-print) window
by typing an (ADD.PROCESS ...) command.  The problem is, where are you
going to type it?  That's LISP, and would have to be typed to some read-eval
process, but your only read-eval-print process is already busy (that's the
whole problem in the first place)!

There are two solutions:
1) get the ongoing process in the original top level window to go into a
"break", which you can do with the ctl-H or ctl-B key, execute the 
ADD.PROCESS, and then exit the break.

2) customize your Lisp so that the "background menu" that you get when you
click on the background (i.e. not in any window) contains a command to
create a new "top level" process and window.  Such code has been written
by Jeff Shulman here at Rutgers.
