C-c l in ilisp prompts for a file name, then prompts if you want to
compile the file first. After which, it loads the file into the
running lisp process.

Doesn't killing the buffer do that already? It does for me on XEmacs
and a cmulisp process buffer.

I think ilisp gets confused sometimes when it tries to parse what the
process returns. I'm not exactly sure why. Seems to happen most
often to me when it's trying to be helpful and display some help on
the args needed for the function name I just typed in. C-z z almost
always cleans it up.

For XEmacs running in X windows (not in terminal mode inside an
xterm), the keys are different. However, I think in most modes
they're defined to be the same. However, C-c RET is defined, but C-c
C-m is not for me.

What does "prefix of a built-in function" mean? In ilisp mode, the
help only pops up for something like:
(destructuring-bind^
where ^ denotes point. If I press space here, some help for
destructuring-bind pops up. In no other place does help pop up by
itself.
It's not that important. I was just stating what ilisp does.

You're right. This is true for C/C++ mode too.
