Emacs' amazingly useful ways to lookup functions makes it pretty easy for me to learn: "okay, I want a function that deletes elements under certain conditions... C-h f delete ah hah, delete-if(-not)? or M-x apropos" etc etc etc very nice! :) It really is a nice development environment... > Sadly, delete-if and its ilk are in CL, and RMS wants us to write > code which does not require CL. :-( why is that? > kai (great fan of `map' and `grep' in Perl) mmm, me too :) -- Josh Huber
