+;;; -*-Emacs-Lisp-*- cmulisp.el
+;;; Copyright Olin Shivers (1988).
+;;; Please imagine a long, tedious, legalistic 5-page gnu-style copyright
+;;; notice appearing here to the effect that you may use this code any
+;;; way you like, as long as you don't charge money for it, remove this
+;;; notice, or hold me liable for its results.
+
+;;; This replaces the standard inferior-lisp mode.
+;;; Hacked from tea.el by Olin Shivers ([e-mail]). 8/88
+;;; Please send me bug reports, bug fixes, and extensions, so that I can
+;;; merge them into the master source.
+;;;
+;;; Change log at end of file.
+
+;;; This file defines a a lisp-in-a-buffer package (cmulisp mode) built on top
+;;; of comint mode.  Cmulisp mode is similar to, and intended to replace, its
+;;; counterpart in the standard gnu emacs release. This replacements is more
+;;; featureful, robust, and uniform than the released version.  The key
+;;; bindings are also more compatible with the bindings of Hemlock and Zwei
+;;; (the Lisp Machine emacs).
+
+;;; Since this mode is built on top of the general command-interpreter-in-
+;;; a-buffer mode (comint mode), it shares a common base functionality, 
+;;; and a common set of bindings, with all modes derived from comint mode.
+;;; This makes these modes easier to use.
+
+;;; For documentation on the functionality provided by comint mode, and
+;;; the hooks available for customising it, see the file comint.el.
+;;; For further information on cmulisp mode, see the comments below.
+
+;;; Needs fixin:
+;;; The load-file/compile-file default mechanism could be smarter -- it
+;;; doesn't know about the relationship between filename extensions and
+;;; whether the file is source or executable. If you compile foo.lisp
+;;; with compile-file, then the next load-file should use foo.bin for
+;;; the default, not foo.lisp. This is tricky to do right, particularly
+;;; because the extension for executable files varies so much (.o, .bin,
+;;; .lbin, .mo, .vo, .ao, ...).
+;;;
+;;; It would be nice if cmulisp (and inferior scheme, T, ...) modes
+;;; had a verbose minor mode wherein sending or compiling defuns, etc.
+;;; would be reflected in the transcript with suitable comments, e.g.
+;;; ";;; redefining fact". Several ways to do this. Which is right?
+;;;
+;;; When sending text from a source file to a subprocess, the process-mark can 
+;;; move off the window, so you can lose sight of the process interactions.
+;;; Maybe I should ensure the process mark is in the window when I send
+;;; text to the process? Switch selectable?

+;;; Brief Command Documentation:
+;;;============================================================================
+;;; Comint Mode Commands: (common to cmulisp and all comint-derived modes)
+;;;

+;;; c-c c-u comint-kill-input	    	    ^u
+;;; c-c c-w backward-kill-word    	    ^w

+;;;					        top-level job.
+;;; comint-mode-hook is the comint mode hook.
+
+;;; CMU Lisp Mode Commands:
+;;; c-m-x   lisp-send-defun     This binding is a gnu convention.
+;;; c-c c-l lisp-load-file  	Prompt for file name; tell Lisp to load it.
+;;; c-c c-k lisp-compile-file	Prompt for file name; tell Lisp to kompile it.
+;;; 	    	    	    	Filename completion is available, of course.
+;;;
+;;; Additionally, these commands are added to the key bindings of Lisp mode:
+;;; c-m-x   lisp-eval-defun         This binding is a gnu convention.
+;;; c-c c-e lisp-eval-defun 	    Send the current defun to Lisp process.
+;;; c-x c-e lisp-eval-last-sexp     Send the previous sexp to Lisp process.

+;;; c-c c-r lisp-eval-region        Send the current region to Lisp process.
+;;; c-c m-r lisp-eval-region-and-go After sending the region, switch-to-lisp.
+;;; c-c c-c lisp-compile-defun      Compile the current defun in Lisp process.
+;;; c-c m-c lisp-compile-defun-and-go After compiling defun, switch-to-lisp.
+;;; c-c c-z switch-to-lisp          Switch to the Lisp process buffer.
+;;; c-c c-l lisp-load-file          (See above. In a Lisp file buffer, default
+;;; c-c c-k lisp-compile-file        is to load/compile the current file.)
+;;; c-c c-d lisp-describe-sym	    Query Lisp for a symbol's description.
+;;; c-c c-a lisp-show-arglist	    Query Lisp for function's arglist.
+;;; c-c c-f lisp-show-function-documentation Query Lisp for a function's doc.
+;;; c-c c-v lisp-show-variable-documentation Query Lisp for a variable's doc.
+
+;;; cmulisp	    	    	    Fires up the Lisp process.
+;;; lisp-compile-region     	    Compile all forms in the current region.
+;;; lisp-compile-region-and-go      After compiling region, switch-to-lisp.
+;;;

+MULTIPLE PROCESS SUPPORT
+===========================================================================
+Cmulisp.el supports, in a fairly simple fashion, running multiple Lisp
+processes. To run multiple Lisp processes, you start the first up with
+\\[cmulisp]. It will be in a buffer named *cmulisp*. Rename this buffer
+with \\[rename-buffer]. You may now start up a new process with another
+\\[cmulisp]. It will be in a new buffer, named *cmulisp*. You can
+switch between the different process buffers with \\[switch-to-buffer].
+
+Commands that send text from source buffers to Lisp processes --
+like lisp-eval-defun or lisp-show-arglist -- have to choose a process
+to send to, when you have more than one Lisp process around. This
+is determined by the global variable cmulisp-buffer. Suppose you
+have three inferior lisps running:
+    Buffer	Process
+    foo		cmulisp
+    bar		cmulisp<2>
+    *cmulisp*   cmulisp<3>
+If you do a \\[lisp-eval-defun-and-go] command on some Lisp source code, 
+what process do you send it to?
+
+- If you're in a process buffer (foo, bar, or *cmulisp*), 
+  you send it to that process.
+- If you're in some other buffer (e.g., a source file), you
+  send it to the process attached to buffer cmulisp-buffer.
+This process selection is performed by function cmulisp-proc.
+
+Whenever \\[cmulisp] fires up a new process, it resets cmulisp-buffer
+to be the new process's buffer. If you only run one process, this will
+do the right thing. If you run multiple processes, you can change
+cmulisp-buffer to another process buffer with \\[set-variable].
+
+More sophisticated approaches are, of course, possible. If you find youself
+needing to switch back and forth between multiple processes frequently,
+you may wish to consider ilisp.el, a larger, more sophisticated package
+for running inferior Lisp processes. The approach taken here is for a
+minimal, simple implementation. Feel free to extend it.")

+;;; ===========================================================================
+;;; 5/24/90 Olin
+;;; - Split cmulisp and cmushell modes into separate files. 
+;;;   Not only is this a good idea, it's apparently the way it'll be rel 19.
+;;; - Upgraded process sends to use comint-send-string instead of
+;;;   process-send-string.
+;;; - Explicit references to process "cmulisp" have been replaced with
+;;;   (cmulisp-proc). This allows better handling of multiple process bufs.
+;;; - Added process query and var/function/symbol documentation
+;;;   commands. Based on code written by Douglas Roberts.
+;;; - Added lisp-eval-last-sexp, bound to C-x C-e.
+;;;
+;;; 9/20/90 Olin
+;;; Added a save-restriction to lisp-fn-called-at-pt. This bug and fix
+;;; reported by Lennart Staflin.
+;;;
+;;; 3/12/90 Olin
+;;; - lisp-load-file and lisp-compile-file no longer switch-to-lisp.
+;;;   Tale suggested this.
