I am using the following on Windows XP (I have removed some personal
preference settings):

(add-to-list 'load-path "C:/elisp/slime/")
(require 'slime)
(slime-setup)

(setq inferior-lisp-program "C:/Other/clisp-2.38/clisp -I -q -K full"
      lisp-indent-function 'common-lisp-indent-function)

You can just open it in Emacs by typing ~/.emacs at the prompt C-x C-f
gives you, there's a fat chance it'll be nonexistant or nearly empty, so
no need to worry about that.

Once Emacs has started type M-x slime this should start slime. To quit
the running lisp use M-x slime-quit-lisp.
