In the old GNU Emacs manual, the one with the cover with RMS as Arjuna
riding down scaring away the Bell Guy with a wawsd of $$$ flying out of his
pockets was a good EMACS LISP manual. It isn't too hard to learn. In fact I
still LISP and SCHEME and don't do anywhere as much PERL.  I haven't checked
"Writing GNU Emacs Extensions" and haven't got on their review list. But
somewhere if anyone wants me to dig them up I have extensions to
"dissociated press" which uses the William S. Burrough's cut up technique in
EMACS.

If anyone wants I'll dig up and produce my paper where I state that it is
human computer intervention that works best. I let the machine cut up and
did further intervention by myself and that produced lots of neat stuff.
Well, neat from my point of view..


Have Fun,
Sends Steve

P.S. The Little LIsper is great if you like Peanut Butter and Jelly
Sandwiches! :)
