I'm not looking for someone to reply with lisp code (although that would be ok), but I don't know where to start. I've got the emacs manual just like everyone else, but I've never done any lisp programming. However, I am a programmer, so I didn't think this should be an impossible task. Plus, I think it's time to take my relationship with emacs to the next level. Just a reference to a keyword or two to look at in the manual or a pointer to something similar on emacswiki would be great. Any ideas?
