Dear Eli:
I am well into the EMACS manual and the FAQ--yes, I am reading, trying
things out, and
making notes. Sometimes a beginner can read things, apply the instructions,
but come to false
conclusions.
It seems to me that there is an ELISP compiler with EMACS--is this true?
And that one can write a program in ELISP and you would call this a
"macro"--is this true?
The reason I ask this is the concept is quite astounding. I mean the idea
that a form of lisp would be
available for an ordinary DOS desktop user. Would it be correct if I said
"You won't believe this but
I can write a program in lisp on my 486"??
Would you mind confirming or setting me straight?
Where is the elisp compiler--is it emacs itself?
Sincerely,
Ralph
