Ah yes -- now I see it and that works fine. Thanks also to Adam Burry for pointing this out. As Tamreen Khan noted it's a little confusing that there's a prompt in the upper pane while input can only be given in the lower pane... I agree with Tamreen that the ideal thing would be for both to be in the same pane, so it's a normal REPL that takes input and also gives output, but if that's very difficult for some reason then I agree that pane labels would help. >> - How is one supposed to create a new .clj file and add it to the project? > > Use the File > New menu. For some reason I was missing this and only seeing the menu item for a new project... but now I think this was just me, and that I jumped too quickly to the conclusion that new files were to be created outside of clooj. Now I see it and it works very nicely. I do think that a hello world walkthrough doc would prevent others from missing this and generally help to orient newcomers to the environment. > Another excellent suggestion (added to issues).

In emacs and MCLIDE (and as far as I recall in other environments that I've used, mostly for Common Lisp) it appears in a mini buffer below the editing pane. I think that's a good solution, but anywhere else "within view but out of the way" would suffice. I wouldn't want to put this within the edit buffer itself, since it might then get in the way and there'd be a much higher premium on getting the information and the way that it's displayed exactly right. Part of the beauty of arglist-on-space is that it's often extremely helpful -- and I tend to rely on it rather than my memory if it's available -- but there are no bad consequences if it's not exactly perfect (e.g. because of complex argument lists or special cases that make it hard to display the right info). -Lee -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
