At the top of the "Programming in Emacs Lisp", before and around the section Practicing Evaluation, examples are given for the novice to evaluate by c-x c-e. And this does produce the result in the minibuffer or echo section below.
My question is, How should create a buffer in which the results will be echoed in the buffer, like in a lisp-evaluation-mode ? In particular, what extension whould this file/buffer be called. Presumeably name.el where expressions are evaluated by highlighted and evaluated by c-x c-e but then doesn't this required the major-mode to be changed every time the file/buffer is opened ? I am looking for a file in which I can incrementally create an emacs-lisp program, will much trial and error, where screes of text can be printed as a result if necessary, and the minibuffer is just not big enough. Now, if some setup *---interactive-mode---* stuff could be included at the top of that buffer, then that would be ideal. Perhaps it is an "self-evaluating form" that I really need. Any suggestions or comments appreciate. _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
