Can anyone point me to a set of BRIEF macros that will set up a
programming environment for LISP? I'm trying to write some SCHEME
programs on a PC using BRIEF and I would like to find a language
package that would match ()'s, indent nested lists, etc. My goal is
the lisp support found in GNU-Emacs, but I would gladly settle for the
PC-Scheme environment, with a little more speed and editing power.
If there is any interest, I'll summarize my results.

Peter,
I called Borland (and left messages on their compuserve forum) with absolutely
NO results. They seem to know very little about the product. If you do find
out anything, let me know. I've got a laptop I want to use an EMAC style editor
on for writing my LISP code, but I'm about to give up and sell it.

If you're looking for paren-flash and auto-indent on a PC, I recommend
JOVE, an emacs-like free editor. I include it with the PC version of
Berkeley Logo, and the Unix version is what I edit with all the time.
(You can find it on my computer anarres.cs.berkeley.edu by ftp.) It
doesn't manage to provide an interactive shell window in the DOS version,
although it'll let you spawn a shell that uses the whole screen. So
it's not quite as nice as running Lisp in an EMACS window.
What about Epsilon, the version of Emacs written by Lugaru software.
It lets you spawn subshells in which you can run Lisp, and does
parenthesis matching, etc. It handles user input and program output
correctly -- all in all, a nice piece of software.
