;;; Commentary:

;; Provides a nice interface to evaluating Emacs Lisp expressions.
;; Input is handled by the comint package, and output is passed
;; through the pretty-printer.

;; To install: copy this file to a directory in your load-path, and
;; add the following line to your .emacs file:
;;
;;   (autoload 'ielm "ielm" "Start an inferior Emacs Lisp session" t)
;;
;; For completion to work, the comint.el from FSF Emacs 19.23 is
;; required.  If you do not have it, or if you are running Lemacs,
;; also add the following code to your .emacs:
;;
;;    (setq ielm-mode-hook
;; 	    '(lambda nil
;; 		 (define-key ielm-map "\t"
;; 		    '(lambda nil (interactive) (or (ielm-tab) 
;;                                                 (lisp-complete-symbol))))))

;; To start: M-x ielm.  Type C-h m in the *ielm* buffer for more info.

;; The latest version is available by WWW from 
;;      http://mathssun5.lancs.ac.uk:2080/~maa036/elisp/dir.html
;; or by anonymous FTP from
;;      /[e-mail]:pub/src/emacs-lisp/ielm.el.gz

  "Major mode for interactively evaluating Emacs Lisp expressions.
Uses the interface provided by `comint-mode' (which see).

* \\<ielm-map>\\[ielm-send-input] evaluates the sexp following the prompt. There must be at most
  one top-level sexp per prompt.

* \\[ielm-return] inserts a newline and indents, or evaluates a
  complete expression (but see variable `ielm-dynamic-return').
  Inputs longer than one line are moved to the line following the
  prompt (but see variable `ielm-dynamic-multiline-inputs').

* \\[comint-dynamic-complete] completes Lisp symbols (or filenames, within strings), 
  or indents the line if there is nothing to complete.

During evaluations, the values of the variables `:', `::', and `:::'
are the results of the previous, second previous and third previous
evaluations respectively.

The current working buffer may be changed (with a call to
`set-buffer', or with \\[ielm-change-working-buffer]), and its value
is preserved between successive evaluations.  In this way, expressions
may be evaluated in a different buffer than the *ielm* buffer.
Display the name of the working buffer with \\[ielm-print-working-buffer],
or the buffer itself with \\[ielm-display-working-buffer].

Expressions evaluated by IELM are not subject to `debug-on-quit' or
`debug-on-error'.

The behaviour of IELM may be customised with the following variables:
* To stop beeping on error, set `ielm-noisy' to nil
* If you don't like the prompt, you can change it by setting `ielm-prompt'.
* Set `ielm-dynamic-return' to nil for bindings like `lisp-interaction-mode'
* Entry to this mode runs `comint-mode-hook' and `ielm-mode-hook'
 (in that order).

Customised bindings may be defined in `ielm-map', which currently contains:
\\{ielm-map}"
