Xlisp comes with a small LSP file, EDIT, that automates this.

The EDIT.LSP in XLISP-PLUS has some additional features.

With XLISP-PLUS you can use REPAIR.LSP, SAVE, RESTORE, and PP.LSP and avoid
using an external editor altogether. The problem is that REPAIR.LSP is a
LIST oriented editor which in most respects is more dificult to use than
a typical screen oriented editor, although it does have the advantage that
you parenthesis are ALWAYS matched!
