Thank you for that - it is one of the books on Amazon I was considering. http://www.amazon.com/Practical-Common-Lisp-Peter-Seibel/dp/1590592395 It's $52.29 on Amazon - to find it free is quite nice. I also found "Common Lisp: A Gentle Introduction to Symbolic Computation" - all http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/LispBook/index.html I want to finish the Solaris port first, getting it building properly on 64-bit systems. But then I might take a look trying to parse Mathematica and do something useful with it.
