;;; 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 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.

  "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.

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].

During evaluations, the values of the variables `*', `**', and `***'
are the results of the previous, second previous and third previous
evaluations respectively.  If the working buffer is another IELM
buffer, then the values in the working buffer are used.  The variables
`*1', `*2' and `*3', yield the process buffer values.

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:
