....which is a dynamicallyscoped member of the Lisp family. JEmacs supports Elisp, as well as the use of Scheme, a more modern statically scoped Lisp dialect. Both languages get compiled to Java bytecodes, either in advance or on the fly, using the Kawa compilation framework. 1 Introduction Emacs [7] [5] in various versions) is a popular programmer s text editor. Emacs is programmable using Emacs Lisp (Elisp) 6] and many powerful packages are written in Elisp. The Free Software Foundation has a goal to replace Elisp with Scheme while also providing a translator to convert old Elisp files ....

At editor level the Java Elucidator is supported by Emacs [13][14] The editor support provides convenient look up features that assist the programmer when addressing source code from the tutorial source. These look up features use information from the last abstraction. In addition, after each abstraction, a list of dead link links is provided. This list ....

....proximity in both a browser context and in the context of the program development environment. Currently, two different tools supporting Elucidative Programming exist [13, 15] one for the programming language Scheme [7] and one for Java [24] Both of the elucidators are supported by Emacs [22, 23] at the editor level. The main purpose of the editor support is to assist the programmer when creating links from the documentation to source code. In order to do this, the elucidator must abstract both source code and documentation. An abstraction gathers information about program units such as ....

....above. Without good IDE support of Elucidative Programming, it would be difficult to maintain relations between program and documentation during the program development process. The current implementations of the Java and Scheme elucidators provide easy link creation facilities in the Emacs editor [22, 23]. A link to a program abstraction is created by selecting the abstraction in the source code. In addition, the Java Elucidator provides dead link detection in terms of a table of links that do not address existing source code. Most of the navigation features provided by the current elucidators ....

In addition, navigation is also provided between applied and defining name occurrences in the source program. Both elucidators are supported by Emacs [19,20] at the editor level. The main function of the editor support is to assist the programmer when creating links from the documentation to source code.

....user understanding of language documents. 2 Interactive Language based Services One of the important characteristics of an interactive system is the ability of a user to engage in a dialogue with the system. That property is exploited in a modest way by contemporary text editors, such as Emacs [22], that incorporate services that check well formedness properties of the document being edited and assist the user in discovering and correcting mistakes. Two familiar examples are checking natural language spellings and detecting unmatched bracketing characters such as parentheses. Using the ....

Emacs for example [3] is also such an environment, but with a rather simple, some would even say impoverished, data model (lines of text) Just as with Emacs, Views is not an environment that existing applications can be directly integrated into: applications have to be written for it; this is the only way Views can ....

....tree representation is, depends on the kind of editor used. We distinguish three kinds of editors depending on the way a user interacts with them. If a user changes the text, which is then parsed by an external tool to derive the corresponding tree, the editor is said to be a text editor. Emacs [Sta81] is a typical example of a text editor. If a user changes the tree, which is then pretty printed to derive the corresponding text, the editor is a structure editor. Emily [Han71] is the oldest structure editor. If the user is allowed to change either the text or the tree, the editor is said to be ....

....environments featuring a structure editor but the user is also allowed to edit in a textual manner. The user selects a subtree in the structure editor and invokes a text edit command. The selected tree is converted to a textual representation and is fed into Emacs, an existing text editor [Sta81]. After changing the text in Emacs, the user invokes a parse command which parses the changed text and replaces the selected subtree.

Expert users, can of course, make full usage of Prolog, in particular to write extensions. The approach is quite similar the one of Emacs [13] where casual users only know the set of commands whereas expert users know how to program new commands in Lisp. The proposed framework for C is an adaptation of Opium designed for Prolog [6] The power of Prolog as a trace query language has been illustrated in [5] The adaptation to C was not ....

Another program then converts that core image into an executable program in the state of the other program was before the dump. For example the sc EMACS editor [Sta84] has a user interface based on hundreds of lines of Lisp code. When the program is installed it reads all the lisp code and then performs the undump. In an analogous way the HASKELL front end can read parse and possibly type check the prelude and dump that state into a new initialised HASKELL ....

....described is to offer the user a uniform interface to a range of software development activities. In principle, the front end tool needs to be no more than a text editor with the capacity to control and feed the back end verification tools involved. Environments based on the emacs editor [17] are examples of this approach. We note, however, that the inclusion of language knowledge in the front end of the architecture proposed above is of immediate relevance to how communication is achieved between the front end and the back end tools, which is the primary topic of this paper. We ....

....number of modern computer tools. One of the main ideas behind the work in this paper is to envision a generic graph processing tool, which can be used whenever there is a need to deal with graphs on a computer. A similar idea has found widespread use in the area of text processing, where Emacs [10, 11] is widely used for nearly any kind of plain text manipulation on UNIX systems. Emacs is indeed a successful example of a generic text editing tool. In this work we present the key ideas behind Ginger 1 [5] an interactive graph processing tool which has been designed with some Department of ....

Currently, this is only possible to a limited extend in GSE and leads to the same modification in all instances. We consider to take the following approach, as found in emacs [Sta81] incorporate a command table in the editor s data structure, basically a list of [ action name , commands ] pairs. Every invocation of action name by the user will then result in the execution of commands . As an example, consider an editor E having two functions: ....

We could have specialized the Smalltalk text editor to HyperPro purposes, but we have chosen to realize the text editor interface to HyperPro through Emacs [46, 45]. More precisely, the HyperPro text editor is an extension to the Emacs derivative called Epoch [21] Basing it on Emacs, we hope to be able to present HyperPro as a seamless extension to the editing environment, which very many people are using already.
