   A really clever implementation would notice in
    (let ((a ...)))  
   that A is not suppose to be a function. There are a finite but number of such situations 
   in Common Lisp.

   Before the big fix, I vote for putting *clear-mini-buffer* on the Environmen
t dialog
   just under *ARGLIST-ON-SPACE*. 

Seconded.  Alternatively a Fred command analogous c-Sh-A on the lispm
should be easy to implement.  To use your example:

When you've got (foo (bar) 
    	                   ^ cursor
and you type c-Sh-A, foo's arglist will be displayed.  I guess this is
the low-tech solution, but may be preferable since you don't get junk
printed in the minibuffer if you don't ask for it.
