+between Emacs and Allegro CL, hereafter referred to as the Emacs-Lisp
+interface.  This interface allows the editing and running of Common Lisp
+programs, and contains enhancements that allow a tight coupling between Emacs
+and Lisp, very similar to those which used to be available only on Lisp
+machines.
+
+To load it, call @code{(load \"fi-site-init.el\")} from Emacs.
+Then you can start Allegro CL by entering @code{M-x fi:common-lisp}.")
