The protocol is pretty simple, Larry describes it here (this thread a while ago)
http://www.lispniks.com/pipermail/gardeners/2005-December/000320.html

Basically it is a lisp list, prefixed with a 6digit hex number in plain text, ie
0000E0(...)
The (...) bit is (I think) a 2 element list, the CAR is usually
:emacs-rex for Slime->swank coms, the CDR is another list containing
the sexp that Swank will execute.  Look at slime.el for details, but
about the only thing "protocol" in the sexp being sent is that certain
characters are converted, for example the newline character gets
converted into 2 characters "\n" - I don't know why this is done, but
presumably Swank prefers it that way.

Cheers
Brad
