So tonight, I tried working through some of this with
Stephane Tsacas
on chat. I tried installing Steel Bank Common Lisp, but every other
thing I type generates 10 lines of error messages and takes me into a
debugger. Stephane has recommended Allegro Common Lisp, but it doesn't
even seem to understand cursor up/cursor down.
SBCL is high-performance, but it's a bit finicky. I've found GNU CLISP to be a
pretty easy-to-start environment, at least. You may find a Scheme interpreter to be a bit
easier, even; Scheme is basically a very terse dialect of Lisp (I know, I'm
oversimplifying, but if you don't know either, it might as well be true).
