    46 == Using SLIME with the IDE == 
    47  
    48 In the IDE's preferences you can ask it to listen for connections from SLIME.  Noting the port number there, you can then use M-x slime-connect to establish a connection from emacs. 
    49  
    50 Recall that the SLIME developers recommend that you use the latest version from CVS.  So you can expect the version of SWANK (the lisp side of the slime protocol) to get out of sync with the Emacs version.  This is even more likely if your emacs has SLIME bundled, as Aquamacs does.  While it may be in your best interest to ignore the convience of the bundled versions and follow the advice of the SLIME developers, you can wait until version mismatch becomes a problem. 
    51  
    52 In some scenarios errors and logging appear in the background stream of the IDE.   Examples include complaints from objective C about leaks and errors during nib loading.  For that reason you may want to avoid opening the IDE application but instead run it like any other unix command.  Assuming you moved your the IDE application into /Applications, can do that by invoking "/Applications/Clozure_CL64.app/Contents/MacOS/dx86cl64".
