Thank you, that did it.

One other small point: I get these two variants, depending on whether
I have one or several of the arguments/keywords on the same line as
with-open-file. This is the same for defun etc. also. Probably a
trivial setting in .emacs? For some functions who has a very special
first argument the first version is perhaps what some people want? I
think I prefer the last of these two, so I would want the arguments to
line up under the first one always. (Or is there a good reason for the
first of these two?)

(let ((value 300))
  (with-open-file (stream "testfile"
			  :element-type '(unsigned-byte 8)
			  :direction :output)
    (write-byte (ldb (byte 8 8) value) stream)
    (write-byte (ldb (byte 8 0) value) stream)))

(let ((value 300))
  (with-open-file (stream
		   "testfile"
		   :element-type '(unsigned-byte 8)
		   :direction :output)
    (write-byte (ldb (byte 8 8) value) stream)
    (write-byte (ldb (byte 8 0) value) stream)))
