	....By the bye, I'm not sure if your reply laid to rest my "fear" that one
	can produce an almost-correct common lisp source file which the zetalisp
	editor can't even bring in to a buffer (previous note used "load") because
	it dies trying to READ some little part of it that happens to be total
	garbage.  What's the scoop?

    We provide and document a command that reads a file into the editor without
    looking at its attributes.  You are then editing the file in Fundamental Mode,
    and the editor makes no attempt to do anything language-specific.

Also, we make use of our error system to trap such errors,
report the problem gracefully, and then read it in in Fundamental
Mode.
