I use a combination of IE and w3 on Emacs & MS Windows. Usually, I want =
to use IE (calling the hyperspec with F1), but sometimes I want to use =
w3 instead. I set up the following in order to use w3 (make sure the w3 =
directory is in your load-path first) to access the hyperspec from the =
Shift-F1 key:

(global-set-key [(shift f1)]
		'(lambda ()
		   (interactive)
               (require 'w3-auto)
		   (let ((browse-url-browser-function 'browse-url-w3)
			 (common-lisp-hyperspec-root "file://c:/usr/home/docs/Hyperspec/")
			 (common-lisp-hyperspec-symbol-table (concat =
common-lisp-hyperspec-root "Data/Map_Sym.txt"))
			 (hyperspec-prog "c:/usr/home/site/ilisp/extra/hyperspec"))
		     (load-library hyperspec-prog)
		     (common-lisp-hyperspec (thing-at-point 'symbol)))))

Note that you need to use the file://... syntax for the =
common-lisp-hyperspec-root variable but can not use it for the =
hyperspec-prog variable. Note also that I use global-set-key because I =
often want to access the hyperspec from inside a document that isn't a =
lisp source file. You may want to use an ilisp-specific binding instead.

Hope that helps.=20
