HyperEmacs, a set of C patches and Elisp extensions for GNU, posted here
(or in gnu.emacs, I forget which) before Christmas (and the great GNUsgroup
renaming) may be just what you're looking for.

It interfaces the GNU Lisp programming environment directly to the high-level
HyperNeWS user-interface development environment (available from an FTP site
near you). This allows developers to use the GNU Lisp environment to prototype 
applications, with all the obvious attendant benefits.

Just in case it proved essential/useful, this interface includes the ability
to send "raw" PostScript to OpenWindows (nee X/NeWS). You could use this
facility to define your higher-level Lisp PostScript primitives (although I'd
be *very* interested in hearing more about the LispScript you talk of...).

If you missed HyperEmacs when it passed, which was easy to do since it was 
posted as 3 uuencoded compressed tar files because we lacked a sensible shar
package at the time, ask "dug@uk.ac.turing" nicely and you will be aptly
rewarded.
