Thanks for your perspective Shannon.

The highest on my must-have list for the CCL IDE is mouse-copy.  I 
appreciate that I may be not so with the herd in that. With dyslexia 
forces to battle, I find more implementation time is spent fixing 
typos and commensurate bugs than actually producing good code.  In 
MCL, using mouse-copy, I can avoid the majority of such wasted effort.

You wrote: "... CCL's Cocoa IDE is not yet quite up to the facility 
of MCL's IDE, but it's getting close.". I expect that like diving in 
the deep end with a spoken language, total immersion with no going 
back, might make CCL's IDE more palatable after an initial breaking 
in period.  It sounds as if this might take half a year. Maybe Lion 
will be the appropriate kick in the behind for me. As it is, I've 
dived into the Hemlockery many many times, all too often I find 
myself needing to come up for air - the sanity of Fred and MCLIDE.

Mea culpa, I still haven't managed to get Zmacs out of my fingers.

Oo... that reminds me, Keyboard Macros. That would be so useful. I 
use Fred for a lot more than lisp, it is a brain extension for the 
digital realm.
And the equivalent of Fred Commands etc (quick aide memoire to 
available commands) would be useful for CCL.
