This isn't going to help with your Emacs problem, but just so you know: Emacs Lisp is a very simple kind of Lisp, lacking many features present in most modern (post-1979) dialects of Lisp. For example, in ANSI Common Lisp, you can directly pass mutiple values around without packing them into some kind of container. And for representing structured data, you can use either structs or object-oriented programming. There are of course many other data types and a zillion other important features in "real" Lisp that Emacs Lisp doesn't have. I'm telling you this because you asked for a "Lispy" way to do things. I think the "CL" library in Emacs Lisp might give you some version of DEFSTRUCT, which is something like the one in Common Lisp. _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list Help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
