But now I got the main picture of the language but I would need some practice since the reference manual lack of examples before I feel confortable enough to start writing my own elisp scripts. Could anybody give me some direction at that point ? Also I would like to know how people debug their scripts ? Are there any tricks ? For now I just write some forms and evaluate them with 'C- j'. Thanks
