Ne, ne, Orm, so geht's nicht ...

The problem here is the MIME-type the webserver sends to the browser.
There are several ways to fix this (all solutions assume an Apache
server):

  * Change the default mime type: 
    In your server configuration add/modify:
      DefaultType text/plain
    From now on the server will send 'text/plain' as the default 
    mime type. NOTE: this might have dramatic consequences on the 
    display of other web pages on the server depending on the 
    configuration.

  * Add/modify you mime database -- RTFM

  * tell Apache about the mime type:
    Again, in your server configuration add:
      AddType text/plain .ins
      AddType text/plain .lisp

    Probably the best solution.
     
Orm's solution would convert your code to a HTMLized version.
