Thanks for your reply (which I just found in the archives -- it seems to 
be taking forever for list messages to get delivered via E-mail).
I tried doing it exactly as in your example. I also upgraded to version 
5.12.0 (they seem to have changed the setq to the add-hook in 
ilisp.emacs, but with a lambda expression rather than a named function 
as you suggest). However, the symptoms remain as I originally described.
I do notice the following in *Messages* after visiting a Lisp file:
Loading ilisp-luc...done
Loading ilisp-sch...done
Loading ilisp-openmcl...done
Loading ilisp-ccl...done
Running ilisp-load-hook
Loading menu interface.
'ilisp-*enable-cl-easy-meny-p*' is t
Loading ilisp-cl-easy-menu...done
Loading ild...done
Loading ilisp-imenu...done

and yet there is still no Ilisp menu in the menu bar. The only way I can 
get that is to do an explicit M-x run-ilisp. btw, is there a way to tell 
it in advance that my dialect is common-lisp and not have it prompt 
every time?
Thanks again.
