It is not the fact that his account is optimistic. It implies that one has the time and the skill to look through all those emacs lisp files to see what does what.
I have personally only done this once to fix a massive e-mail problem I had when I first put Oralux into production use in my laboratory. Lisp, for most people is quite a complicated affair, and all those dashes and confusingly-placed parentheses can confuse all but the most hardened veterans. Just look through the sources and fix something is easier said, for the average computer user, than done, especially when that user simply wants his or her machine to accomplish a certain task or a set of tasks. I have not even had time to study emacs lisp in full detail yet and I have been on line for several years since I got this machine. I have the reference manual, but it appears that something is always coming up. For now, I will put this on hold although I will need to develop interfaces for emacs and emacspeak for future programs I have in mind Sincerely: -- Doug Smith: C.S.F.C.
