- Can you help this person? Also, can you give me the rest of ledit
- to distribute, plus some info on how to use it?
-
-I have put the files "ledit.l" and "leditcfns.c" on prep:~mdc.
-Much to my disgust ledit.l relied on some bogus little package of
-functions on HT, so I had to massage it a bit.
-
-To get it to work, one must:
-
- - Compile leditcfns.c with something like:
-
- cc leditcfns.c
-
- - Edit ledit.l, changing the line beginning "(cfasl" to
- have the right pathname for the cfns file you compiled in
- the last step.
-
- - Compile ledit.l with:
-
- liszt ledit.l
-
-Then put the following lines in your .lisprc file:
-
- ;load in functions for emacs interface
- (load "//src//mdc//ledit//ledit") ; Location of Ledit library
- (set-proc-str "%gnumacs") ; Name of editor
-
-Then you can use ^E <RETURN> to get from LISP back to gnumacs.
-
-Here is the part of my .emacs file that pertains to ledit.
-
- ;;; Set up ledit mode
- (setq ledit-go-to-lisp-string "%lisp")
- (setq lisp-mode-hook 'ledit-from-lisp-mode)

- This is a documentation question.
- I cannot figure out how to use Ledit. I suspect I need some
- function on the Franz Lisp end of things to go to Emacs and read in
- the temporary file. Is this true? Is the Lisp job started within
- Emacs or outside of emacs? I'm just plain confused. Perhaps a couple
- of words from someone in the know would help.
-
- A related question. I have been using a shell buffer when interacting
- with Lisp (ie. put a definition in the kill buffer and then yank it
- into the shell buffer to redefine it). This is nice but tends to fill
- up the shell buffer with lots of code (I'd rather keep calls to functions
- in the shell and not the functions themselves).
- My question: Is using the shell buffer "better" than ledit? Am I using
- it in the best way (i.e. copying definitions from an edit buffer to the
- shell buffer)? -Thanks, David Neves
-
-I have found that ledit works well for doing programming development
-when you are changing lots of little pieces of a file and don't wish
-to recompile the whole file. Of course M-X Compile is very nice for
-calling up a liszt on a buffer and watching it in the another window.
-Of course the interface of something like NIL is even better because
-you can compile your function directly into your lisp. But since NIL
-doesn't run under Unix, this is probably the next best thing.
-
-I have tried the 2 window method (shell in lower window, lisp code in
-upper), and have found it a little awkward. It does have certain
-advantages, but most of the time, I get be fine using M-C-D to save a
-defun for lisp, and C-X Z to jump back to LISP. C-E RETURN from lisp
-is also mnemonic for getting back to gnumacs.
-
-I hope this helps somewhat.
