Your options are, in the order I think will help you the most:

	o use M-x shell instead.  Forget about a fancy interface.
	o use ilisp.
	o get tags someplace.
	o spoof Allegro by providing tags somehow.

If you are not going to use Allegro much, forget about its emacs
modes.

If you are going to use it a lot, use ilisp.  I recommend ilisp to
heavy Lisp, including Allegro, hackers, at least up to fcl4.2.

If you are going to use it a lot and deal with Allegro multiprocessing
a lot and will not ever use another Lisp or Scheme than Allegro, try
to get Allegro's interface to work.

Friendly advice: line lengths less than 75 characters, consistent left
margins, and single spacing make Usenet and email discussions easier.

If you follow up, please also reply by email.
