I'm at 15 mins and still only half way! ('course I'm dumb as a stump)
";; Use the mouse to go back to the window where you code."
Doesn't work for me. Using emacs 23.3, but C-x o does the trick.
OK, I'm at 30 mins and have found another mistake. You instruct:
"
;; Now if you don't mind, I'll stop asking you to hit `C-xC-e': do it
;; for every sexp that follows.
;; It's often useful to erase the buffer:
"
But, you forgot to instruct to return to scratch buffer. So,
entering code in test buffer turn scratch buffer into test buffer, of
which I now have two test buffers which do the same thing.
This is not a gotchya, jes a example of every programming howto I've
ever read. Somewhere, the author always makes a mistake and then I'm
left confused and lost. Sorry, but the syntax must be perfect and
explained in detail and typically, it is not. Otherwise, I like your
little tutorial. In yer favor, I learned more in 30 mins than all
previous LISP lessons, including emacs' own. I'll finish it and
bookmark it. Also, I hate coding. I'll never be a programmer and
have no desire to be, but love linux and know I must learn some code.
I also love emacs and try to learn something new every day. In that,
you have succeeded brilliantly. Thank you. ;)
BTW. emacs 23.3 does not open to scratch buffer.
