Subject: All-time newbie question

I have an opportunity to run Allegro CL on an actual unix machine with
X-windows!  (Previously have been running it only on PCs.)  Unfortunately,
everybody who has used it in the past is away right now, so I have what
must be the all-time newbie question:

   How do I persuade lisp to use the windowing system?

When I type "lisp" it starts toploop simply using line-mode terminal I/O.
I have DISPLAY set correctly, emacs (for instance) works fine.  Is there a
command-line option?  Am I hopelessly confused?

There seem to be no man pages or doc files installed, only some example
lisp functions, so I am really at a loss here.
