Im not sure what manuals you are referring to, here is a listing of
the clisp documents that came with my version (Unix):
-rw-r--r-- 1 hkt 4873 May 1 01:06 README
-rw-r--r-- 1 hkt 4883 May 1 01:06 clisp.1
-rw-r--r-- 1 hkt 5830 May 1 02:27 clisp.man
-rw-r--r-- 1 hkt 14813 Mar 15 1994 clos-gui.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 hkt 14156 Mar 15 1994 cltl2.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 hkt 63603 May 1 01:08 inotes.txt
All of the .txt files are ASCII. Only the clisp.1 and clisp.man files
need nroff to format. I've included an ascii version of thses at the
end of this message.

Boot clisp and then type: (apropos "SHELL"). If it shows the SHELL
function defined then it is theoretically possible. You will be able
to invoke csound, but I don't have any idea about memory limitations.
Also, my guess is that in DOS I the csound shell will have to finish
before clisp resumes.

To quit CLISP use the (exit) function. Control-D also works in Unix,
try Control-Z on DOS.
