|     Is there a way to construct an accepting-values dialog to supply the
|     required/optional arguments of a command?  What I have in mind is
|     something like what Genera/DW used to do for Meta-Complete (that was
|     strictly for completion and would be interesting to know how to do on
|     ACL also).  I want to pass the name of a command, a command table (and
|     whatever else) and have an accepting values dialog be put up for the
|     commands arguments.
| 
| Actually, CLIM *does* support meta-Complete to fill in a command dialog.  
| Here is the magic parameter, which you can extend to include something
| more useful for ACL:
| 
| (in-package :clim)
| (defparameter *command-previewers* '(#+Genera #\m-Complete))
| 

Sorry.  I wasn't quite specific enough in my last posting.
It works but not for keywords - that is when (keywords) is
showing I can't type the command previewer character and have the
command dialog come up.
