Try the "run-lisp" command. This fires up a special form of a subshell
and allows  expressions to be taken from other buffers.

If you do alot of lisp, I am working on an enhanced "fancy-lisp" mode
that is targeted at Lucid Lisp on a Sun. Features include:
   Better display of the expressions sent
   Automatic switching of packages to match changes of buffers
   Lisp control commands to abort break loops, scroll the lisp
        window, etc. 
   Different ways to send the previous fcn, next fcn, current fcn, etc.

I will gladly ship these changes to those who want to take a chance. 
I will submit them to the info-gnu-emacs folks when the changes are
ready for general distribution.
