  54   "If non-nil, the IELM prompt is read only.
  55 The read only region includes the newline before the prompt.
  56 Setting this variable does not affect existing IELM runs.
  57 This works by setting the buffer-local value of `comint-prompt-read-only'.
  58 Setting that value directly affects new prompts in the current buffer.
  59
  60 If this option is enabled, then the safe way to temporarily
  61 override the read-only-ness of ielm prompts is to call
  62 `comint-kill-whole-line' or `comint-kill-region' with no
  63 narrowing in effect.  This way you will be certain that none of
  64 the remaining prompts will be accidentally messed up.  You may
  65 wish to put something like the following in your `.emacs' file:
  66
  67 \(add-hook 'ielm-mode-hook
  68           '(lambda ()
  69              (define-key ielm-map \"\\C-w\" 'comint-kill-region)

  71                'comint-kill-whole-line)))
  72
  73 If you set `comint-prompt-read-only' to t, you might wish to use
  74 `comint-mode-hook' and `comint-mode-map' instead of
  75 `ielm-mode-hook' and `ielm-map'.  That will affect all comint
  76 buffers, including ielm buffers.  If you sometimes use ielm on
  77 text-only terminals or with `emacs -nw', you might wish to use
  78 another binding for `comint-kill-whole-line'."

 442   "Major mode for interactively evaluating Emacs Lisp expressions.
 443 Uses the interface provided by `comint-mode' (which see).
 444
 445 * \\<ielm-map>\\[ielm-send-input] evaluates the sexp following the prompt.  There must be at most
 446   one top level sexp per prompt.
 447
 448 * \\[ielm-return] inserts a newline and indents, or evaluates a
 449   complete expression (but see variable `ielm-dynamic-return').
 450   Inputs longer than one line are moved to the line following the
 451   prompt (but see variable `ielm-dynamic-multiline-inputs').
 452
 453 * \\[comint-dynamic-complete] completes Lisp symbols (or filenames, within strings),
 454   or indents the line if there is nothing to complete.
 455
 456 The current working buffer may be changed (with a call to
 457 `set-buffer', or with \\[ielm-change-working-buffer]), and its value
 458 is preserved between successive evaluations.  In this way, expressions
 459 may be evaluated in a different buffer than the *ielm* buffer.
 460 By default, its name is shown on the mode line; you can always display
 461 it with \\[ielm-print-working-buffer], or the buffer itself with \\[ielm-display-working-buffer].
 462
 463 During evaluations, the values of the variables `*', `**', and `***'
 464 are the results of the previous, second previous and third previous
 465 evaluations respectively.  If the working buffer is another IELM
 466 buffer, then the values in the working buffer are used.  The variables
 467 `*1', `*2' and `*3', yield the process buffer values.
 468
 469 Expressions evaluated by IELM are not subject to `debug-on-quit' or
 470 `debug-on-error'.
 471
 472 The behavior of IELM may be customized with the following variables:
 473 * To stop beeping on error, set `ielm-noisy' to nil.
 474 * If you don't like the prompt, you can change it by setting `ielm-prompt'.
 475 * If you do not like that the prompt is (by default) read-only, set
 476   `ielm-prompt-read-only' to nil.
 477 * Set `ielm-dynamic-return' to nil for bindings like `lisp-interaction-mode'.
 478 * Entry to this mode runs `comint-mode-hook' and `ielm-mode-hook'
 479  (in that order).
 480
 481 Customized bindings may be defined in `ielm-map', which currently contains:
 482 \\{ielm-map}"
