How can I change this? Here's run-lisp's definition: (defun run-lisp () "Run an inferior Lisp process, input and output via buffer *lisp*." (interactive) (switch-to-buffer (make-shell "lisp" inferior-lisp-program)) (inferior-lisp-mode)) Insert a 'c' inside the string argument to make-shell. Then place your cursor after the last right-paren and type ^X^E (eval-last-sexp) to install this modified run-lisp in your emacs. To do this every time you start emacs, put the defun inside your .emacs file. To make run-lisp more general, replace the explicit string with a variable, and defvar it as apporpriate. -- /jr jr@bbn.com or bbn!jr

So in your case you should put in your .emacs : (setq inferior-lisp-program "clisp") I do not know if this is true everywhere, but there is an error in one of the functions in shell.el. The function is "inferior-lisp-mode" and the error in a statement in that procedure should be changed from : (lisp-mode-variables) to (lisp-mode-variables nil) as "lisp-mode-variables" defined in lisp-mode.el requires an argument.

No no no dummy. As another poster noted, the program name is taken already from the variable inferior-lisp-program. Simply setq this to the right thing ("clisp"). We now return you to your regularly-wired mind. -- /jr jr@bbn.com or bbn!jr

WRONG. The first argument to make-shell is the name of the process, not the actual program to execute (BTW, with '*' pre- and appended, it is the name of the buffer to be used). The program to execute is inferior-lisp-program; and is defined to be "lisp" somewhere in the distribution (it doesn't matter where): inferior-lisp-program's value is "lisp" Documentation: *Program name for invoking an inferior Lisp with `run-lisp'. So, you can M-x set-variable inferior-lisp-program "clisp" once you have emacs running, or (setq inferior-lisp-program "clisp") in $HOME/.emacs --Roberto ______________________________________________________________________________ || Internet: shirono@ssd.harris.com Roberto Shironoshita || Harris Corporation || ...!novavax---\ Computer Systems Division || UUCP: ...!uunet-------!hcx1!shirono || ...!mit-eddie-/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DISCLAIMER: The opinions expressed here are my own; they in no way reflect the opinion or policies of Harris Corporation.
