An Picolisp process can be fired up with M-x run-picolisp.

Customization: Entry to this mode runs the hooks on comint-mode-hook and

You can send text to the inferior Picolisp process from other buffers containing
Picolisp source.
    switch-to-picolisp switches the current buffer to the Picolisp process buffer.
    picolisp-send-definition sends the current definition to the Picolisp process.
    picolisp-send-region sends the current region to the Picolisp process.

    picolisp-send-definition-and-go and picolisp-send-region-and-go
        switch to the Picolisp process buffer after sending their text.
For information on running multiple processes in multiple buffers, see
documentation for variable picolisp-buffer.

Commands:
Return after the end of the process' output sends the text from the
    end of process to point.
Return before the end of the process' output copies the sexp ending at point
    to the end of the process' output, and sends it.
Delete converts tabs to spaces as it moves back.
Tab indents for Picolisp; with argument, shifts rest
    of expression rigidly with the current line.
C-M-q does Tab on each line starting within following expression.
Paragraphs are separated only by blank lines.  Semicolons start comments.

MULTIPLE PROCESS SUPPORT
===========================================================================
inferior-picolisp.el supports, in a fairly simple fashion, running multiple Picolisp
processes.  To run multiple Picolisp processes, you start the first up with
\\[run-picolisp].  It will be in a buffer named *picolisp*.  Rename this buffer
with \\[rename-buffer].  You may now start up a new process with another
\\[run-picolisp].  It will be in a new buffer, named *picolisp*.  You can
switch between the different process buffers with \\[switch-to-buffer].

Commands that send text from source buffers to Picolisp processes -- like
`picolisp-send-definition' -- have to choose a process to send to, when you
have more than one Picolisp process around.  This is determined by the
global variable `picolisp-buffer'.  Suppose you have three inferior Picolisps
running:
    Buffer      Process
    foo         picolisp
    bar         picolisp<2>
    *picolisp*  picolisp<3>
If you do a \\[picolisp-send-definition-and-go] command on some Picolisp source
code, what process do you send it to?

- If you're in a process buffer (foo, bar, or *picolisp*),
  you send it to that process.
- If you're in some other buffer (e.g., a source file), you
  send it to the process attached to buffer `picolisp-buffer'.
This process selection is performed by function `picolisp-proc'.

Whenever \\[run-picolisp] fires up a new process, it resets `picolisp-buffer'
to be the new process's buffer.  If you only run one process, this will
do the right thing.  If you run multiple processes, you can change
`picolisp-buffer' to another process buffer with \\[set-variable].

More sophisticated approaches are, of course, possible.  If you find yourself
needing to switch back and forth between multiple processes frequently,
you may wish to consider ilisp.el, a larger, more sophisticated package
for running inferior Lisp and Picolisp processes.  The approach taken here is
for a minimal, simple implementation.  Feel free to extend it." )
