Function preview

When using CL with Emacs (Slime) I type the name of a function and get an 
info in the bottom line
indicating which arguments this function expects.

Very valuable for a beginner like me.

Does LispWorks provide anything like this?

It looks like Edi Weitz's LW-ADD-ONS has a feature like this.

There's code for that somewhere in the examples folder that comes with
LispWorks.  But you can also (shameless plug) use LW-ADD-ONS:

Cheers,
