Personally, I wouldn't do that! At the moment, my transformation doesn't
work nicely for all el files. At a minimum, you need code markers at the
before the first line of lisp and the after the last.

Otherwise, all the code gets treated by org as text; if you run, say,
"fill-paragraph" in the org-mode lentic view then it will do bad things 
when all the code gets refilled.

If your example is complete, I think it's because your code markers are
unbalanced. Look in the *lentic-log* buffer and you should see lots of
"delimiters do not match". Put a ";; #+end_src" in place and it should
fix itself.

This should probably be smoothed over in the user interface. I could
tell the user when the lentic buffer is created. You've also uncovered a
bug -- when the delimiters do not match, it's should be doing the safest
transformation of all which is a direct copy; so the "* Code" line
should have been left alone also.
