Not disparaging Tamas' help, but you might get more help on the slime
mailing list. Folks there are very responsive.

Use it on the source in lisp-mode. People don't usually edit
complicated expressions in the REPL. Edit the source, then use C-c
C-c or similar to run in the REPL.

Also, why google when there is documentation? C-h m.

That does two things: first you save your file (C-x C-s, or C-x s will
save all), then C-x C-c will exit Emacs. Emacs will usually ask about
running processes, but it will kill them just fine if you answer y.

Just read the tutorials, and you will get the hang of it.

Does anyone really need this? I usually like closing my open
parenthesis one by one and checking the blinking counterparts.

I assume that there will be more people who have bound '(' such that it
inserts '()' with the cursor in between...
