You can run a CLIM application using the functions make-application-frame and run-frame-top-level. Here is a code fragment that illustrates this technique:
(clim:run-frame-top-level (clim:make-application-frame 'frame-name))
run-frame-top-level will not return until the application exits.
Note that *application-frame* is not bound until run-frame-top-level is invoked.
For more information, see E.2 Functions for Operating on Windows Directly.
