recently i spent an evening going through mounds & mounds of Symbolics's
Zmacs code in an eventually successful attempt to find a way to bind a
Zmacs key to a user-written lisp function, bypassing the
ZWEI:DEFINE-KEYBOARD-MACRO routine.  it occurs to me that such
modifications/additions to Symbolics's own code would be much less painful if
Symbolics had included documentation on it.  Bravo, Symbolics, for handing out
your source --
the only problem w/ it is that internal documentation consists of about
3 lines of very general comments for every set of related functions, & no
descriptions of data structures.  You already have about 10 good manuals for
the machine.  How about "11:  System Software Implementation"?
("Oh, yes, it's another $40000 for the manuals.":-)
