51 "If non-nil, the IELM prompt is read only.
52 The read only region includes the newline before the prompt.
53 Setting this variable does not affect existing IELM runs.
54 This works by setting the buffer-local value of `comint-prompt-read-only'.
55 Setting that value directly affects new prompts in the current buffer.
57 If this option is enabled, then the safe way to temporarily
58 override the read-only-ness of IELM prompts is to call
59 `comint-kill-whole-line' or `comint-kill-region' with no
60 narrowing in effect. This way you will be certain that none of
61 the remaining prompts will be accidentally messed up. You may
62 wish to put something like the following in your init file:
64 \(add-hook \\='ielm-mode-hook
65 (lambda ()
66 (define-key ielm-map \"\\C-w\" \\='comint-kill-region)
67 (define-key ielm-map [C-S-backspace]
68 \\='comint-kill-whole-line)))
70 If you set `comint-prompt-read-only' to t, you might wish to use
71 `comint-mode-hook' and `comint-mode-map' instead of
72 `ielm-mode-hook' and `ielm-map'. That will affect all comint
73 buffers, including IELM buffers. If you sometimes use IELM on
74 text-only terminals or with `emacs -nw', you might wish to use
75 another binding for `comint-kill-whole-line'."

485 one top level sexp per prompt.
487 * \\[ielm-return] inserts a newline and indents, or evaluates a
488 complete expression (but see variable `ielm-dynamic-return').
489 Inputs longer than one line are moved to the line following the
490 prompt (but see variable `ielm-dynamic-multiline-inputs').
492 * \\[ielm-return-for-effect] works like `ielm-return', except
493 that it doesn't print the result of evaluating the input. This
494 functionality is useful when forms would generate voluminous
495 output.
497 * \\[completion-at-point] completes Lisp symbols (or filenames, within strings),
498 or indents the line if there is nothing to complete.
500 The current working buffer may be changed (with a call to `set-buffer',
501 or with \\[ielm-change-working-buffer]), and its value is preserved between successive
502 evaluations. In this way, expressions may be evaluated in a different
503 buffer than the *ielm* buffer. By default, its name is shown on the
504 mode line; you can always display it with \\[ielm-print-working-buffer], or the buffer itself
505 with \\[ielm-display-working-buffer].
507 During evaluations, the values of the variables `*', `**', and `***'
508 are the results of the previous, second previous and third previous
509 evaluations respectively. If the working buffer is another IELM
510 buffer, then the values in the working buffer are used. The variables
511 `*1', `*2' and `*3', yield the process buffer values.
513 If, at the start of evaluation, `standard-output' is t (the
514 default), `standard-output' is set to a special function that
515 causes output to be directed to the ielm buffer.
516 `standard-output' is restored after evaluation unless explicitly
517 set to a different value during evaluation. You can use (princ
518 VALUE) or (pp VALUE) to write to the ielm buffer.
520 Expressions evaluated by IELM are not subject to `debug-on-quit' or
521 `debug-on-error'.
523 The behavior of IELM may be customized with the following variables:
524 * To stop beeping on error, set `ielm-noisy' to nil.
525 * If you don't like the prompt, you can change it by setting `ielm-prompt'.
526 * If you do not like that the prompt is (by default) read-only, set
527 `ielm-prompt-read-only' to nil.
528 * Set `ielm-dynamic-return' to nil for bindings like `lisp-interaction-mode'.
529 * Entry to this mode runs `comint-mode-hook' and `ielm-mode-hook'
530 (in that order).
532 Customized bindings may be defined in `ielm-map', which currently contains:
