Years ago, I had a real problem remembering M-x ielm. Because I only used this command occasionally, I was never able to remember it. I never remember ielm, and when I see that name, I have no idea what it does. I recall I looked it up once, perhaps a year ago, but nothing stuck. I had to look it up again now. `ielm' might be a good file name prefix, if this had multiple files. A prefix needs to be short. But the package should have a natural name for users. One thing I don't understand is why this is better than the *scratch* buffer and Lisp Interaction Mode. What are the advantages of ielm? Should the *scratch* buffer be implemented by ielm? Or would that have some drawback? -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
