I have a copy of 'An Introduction to Emacs Lisp, 3rd Edition'. I have read the first chapters and like it so far. Read it online: http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs-lisp-intro/html_node/index.html No idea why that page mentions "for people who are not programmers". Maybe "for people who have no experience with Lisp" might have been a better description? Also: http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs-lisp-intro/html_node/index.html I hope a (new) edition will be printed soon :-). No idea if the latter is more suitable for you. Also, haven't read/studied that one yet. -- John Bokma j3b Hacking & Hiking in Mexico - http://johnbokma.com/ http://castleamber.com/ - Perl & Python Development
