It would be useful to look at whatever changes Emacs variants have made. Their choices may have been good ones. > The example given, I believe, was sending a region to the > REPL. Would you be so kind as to post again the text that you're referring to? As far as I know, Emacs does not have such a command. It has M-: and C-x C-e. Or... are you talking about languages other than Lisp? Most of those languages do not HAVE functions comparable to read, eval, and print. They may have the ability to execute a program sent interactively but the term REPL is not applicable to them. -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
