Step 1: get Emacs -- (a) it runs on a dialect of Lisp, so in
customising it you will learn a good deal, and (b) it offers good
modes for interacting with general Lisp environments. The dialect
is not Common Lisp, though it has similarities.
Step 2: Go to comp.lang.lisp and ask again. There is a pretty large
list of more-or-less free Lisp environments, and they will be able
to tell you which is most appropriate.
