Perhaps the first question should be, if you "occasionally use emacs", then what do you use the rest of the time? How are you editing your lisp code now? IMHO if you are editing your code some other way, then indeed from that perspective *any* solution where step 1 is "first fire up emacs" is going to be "heavyweight"! And, if you do go with emacs, then as has been pointed out, there are lots of options. The simplest might be to just start lisp in a shell buffer, and then you get line editing and history. When you frustrate with that, then time to consider additional pkgs like Ilisp or Slime or even the ancient cl-shell.el . Good luck, -f
