Indentation doesn't matter to the Lisp interpreter, but it does to human readers of your code. If you're interested in Emacs Lisp, there is both tutorial-style and reference documentation available from the Info documentation collection (C-h i). Another approach would be to read a book on Common Lisp, then learn the differences between it and Emacs Lisp. "Practical Common Lisp" by peter Seibel is available online here, and I would recommend it. http://www.gigamonkeys.com/book/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the emacspeak list or change your address on the emacspeak list send mail to "emacspeak-request@xxxxxxxxxxx" with a subject of "unsubscribe" or "help".
