There are some notes in the reference manual under the heading
"Lisp and Maxima", and also in a tutorial named "Minimal Maxima".
You can find both documents at: http://maxima.sourceforge.net/docs.shtml
See also these pages at the Maxima wiki:

Sorry that this stuff isn't better organized. I guess we should merge
it together ....

What is the mechanism for communicating between CL and R ?
Is it a foreign function interface or a pipe or what?
